Loss of a friend
I received an email from a friend of mine informing me that a friend of mine had just passed away. His name was Robert (Pete) Simar, and had been suffering from Mesothelioma.
Pete was the step father of a good friend of mine, but I was very close to the family as a whole. I was included like I was a member of the family, and I considered them as part of my family. Pete was really a great guy, he was kind, and was a lot of fun to be around.
This situation is a bit worse because I have never had anyone really close to me pass away. I had a few family members pass away years ago, but we were not close. Pete and I were much closer and I wasn’t able to visit him while he was in the hospital, which makes it even worse.
