Everybody hates to admit that the old say "you never know what you got until it's gone" is very much true. I guess I learned that the hard way recently. ZEverybody has that close friend that may not speak or see from each other too often, but you really like having them around because you're friends with the person, and you never imagine that anything bad will happen.
Unfortunately that occured to me a fewdays ago. When I got news about my friend, I was devistated, and very much in shock. How can somethign like this happen to someone to close to me? I have always heard of things like these happening to other people, and I did feel sorry for them, but I could never imagine that it would happen to somone that I knew personally and so close to.
It difficult to see someone in a state of being extremly vulnerable and afraid that you really can't do much to help them. I would have never imagined seeing my friend the way he was, so helpless, so vulnerable, that I just had to break down. I guess now I value my friend that much more, because I almost lost him, and I should value more things around me, because sooner or later, everything leaves.
It's not really a positive thing to think about, but the only positive I can see from coming out of all this isthat in every difficult situation, the obsticle maybe high, but the gratitude and the strength that a person gains from it in the end is astronomical. When all this ordeal is over, I know that my friend will be a better person and so will I.
