Missing my best bud today

[CrealCritter]

It's odd how just all of a sudden your best bud who died 5 years ago just pops up in your mind. He was nothing bud a big ole biker teddy bear who was called to Heaven to ride his bike on the streets of gold.

I seen my best bud who was about 6' 6" and close to 300 lbs, shrivel up to less than 85 lbs due to cancer. He looked over at me laying it the hospital bed and said "it's time to go home" then a look of peace fell over him and he passed.

Cancer ---> SUCKS <---

Ride on bud... Thinking of you. Save me a spot right next to you so you can show me around heaven when I get there.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Cancer does suck, very much. It stole my 2 favourite aunts and my favourite uncle within 2 years, a few years ago. One after another.

What a sweet tribute to a good friend. Cancer does indeed SUCK!

My beloved Daddy died of bone cancer, in terrible pain. It was awful. He wasted away. He was bed ridden the last year of his life. He remained cheerful, upbeat and cracking jokes. I'd go see him, we'd laugh and cut up, then I'd cry all the way home.

Death is a part of living. Death is a natural process. But cancer is not natural and is a lingering slow torturous process that Death finally comes, all too slow.

I have some of my Daddy's garden tools, the wood handles are weathered. I wouldn't trade them for their weight in gold.

I get you @CrealCritter. My best friend died almost 4 years ago after years of pain and suffering from kidney disease. And yet there are times I feel that I can just pick up the phone and hear her voice again. And some days are great, but on other days, the ache is just as deep as when I first said goodbye.

Just cant shake the sad feeling... here's a dedaction in memory of my best bud. We used to play this song in one of the many bands we played in together. It's very irronic just how fitting the lyrics are now, decades later.

Pink Floyd - Wot's... Uh the Deal Lyrics
Songwriters: David Jon Gilmour / Roger Waters

Heaven sent the promised land
Looks alright from where I stand
'Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in
Waiting on the first step
Show me where the key is kept
Point me down the right line because it's time

To let me in from the cold
Turn my lead into gold
'Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul
And I think I'm growing old

Flash the readies
What's, uh the deal?
Got to make it to the next meal
Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel
Mile after mile (mile after mile)
Stone after stone (stone after stone)
you turn to speak but you're alone
Million miles from home, you're on your own

So let me in from the cold
Turn my lead into gold
'Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul
And I think I'm growing old

Fire bright by candlelight
And her by my side
And if she prefers we will never stir again
Someone sent the promised land
And I grabbed it with both hands
Now I'm the man on the inside looking out

Hear me shout "Come on in,
What's the news and where you been?"
'Cause there's no wind left in my soul
And I've grown old
