A Sad Ending To A Great Weekend

Sunday night marked the end of a great weekend at our civil war reenactment. As a board member of the reenactment it had been a long, tiring weekend, but also a very staisfying weekend. It was the kind of weekend that left you with a feeling of elation because everything had gone so well. This morning that high was brought to a crashing halt. A friend who was only 39 years old passed away on Sunday night. When I retired 3 years ago he and I had some differences of opinion. Thank God over the course of the last year we had worked these problems out and at the end we were once again able to call each other friend.

Kindest Regards John
 
WOW! 39!

However, I'm glad the two of you achieved reconciliation.
 
Sorry to hear the news, John. That's just too young to go.
 
Far far too young, sorry to hear that John
 
I am of the full belief that the weeks leading up to Halloween are cursed. I've had one distant relative hit and kill a pedestrian (victim was potentially suicidal), another in the same branch of the family died in a 4 wheeler accident, a friends daughter was hit by a car (fortunatly not severly), another friends husband died (expected eventually, but not known when) and a dear friend from church is fading fast to cancer. all in the last week.
Not to mention our amigos feline friend.
It all started for me 11 years ago when I totalled my Jeep on the night before halloween. From then on it seems that bad things happen more so in these two weeks , and any other part of the year.
John, Sorry to hear of your friend. 39 is wayy too young. So glad to hear that you had made things right.
chins still up here. thoughts extended to you and yours
 
Grim news, John.

Our sympathy.
 
Glad a reconcilation was made... you never know when anyone (or yourself, even) is going to go... I always try to be agreeable when I disagree with family (particularly) and friends.... and minimize the things that cannot be undone, or I would want undone....
 
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I'm glad you made amends -- life is indeed too fragile to bear grudges against those whom we know and love. I'll say a prayer for you and your friend.
