I saw you mention this on Facebook. Very sorry to hear about your loss. As you say, after losing a parent, losing lifelong friends is the worst.
Funerals are a funny old business though, I always think. On the one hand, they are desperately sad, of course, but on the other, it's comforting to share the grieving process with friends or relatives -- many of whom you may not have seen for a long time. You spend time talking about the deceased and reminiscing with others about the times you enjoyed with them, and this often results in a strange mixture of laughter and heartache. Then there's the timely reminder that funerals provide that life isn't forever and we all need to try to make the most of every single day. Yeah, like I say, funerals are a funny old business and sure do stir up a whole lot of different emotions.

So sorry for your loss, Kurt. Having a friend for that long must be an incredible blessing, so I can't imagine what you're going through with her passing.
Hang in there, my friend.

Yesterday my wife and I returned from our vacation to Jerusalem . All in all, it was amazing to see where all the places were where all the Biblical giants walked. We went on 3 tours and the other days we visited the the old city of Jerusalem. There we saw the Western wall, the site of the crucifixion and other important locations. On the last day we were on our holiday, there was a shooting at the Damascus gate. There are various gates to enter the city and that particular entrance we used 2 out of the 3 times we visited the city. It turns out we were at the Dead Sea and at Masada that day, but it makes you think . All the police have long rifles and it was sad to hear 2 were killed by terrorists.

My condolences, Kurt; I can only hope that the memories of your lifelong friendship will provide a measure of comfort.
And Icctrombone, I'm glad you guys are safe and sound. Sorry to read this act of senseless violence cast a shadow over an otherwise great experience.

Yesterday my wife and I returned from our vacation to Jerusalem . All in all, it was amazing to see where all the places were where all the Biblical giants walked. You're talking about Goliath, right? We went on 3 tours and the other days we visited the the old city of Jerusalem. There we saw the Western wall, the site of the crucifixion and other important locations. On the last day we were on our holiday, there was a shooting at the Damascus gate. Yeah, I read about that and thought to myself, "I hope Icc and his wife are safe." Anyway, glad you enjoyed yourselves. I was following your photos on Facebook with great interest. Looks like it was the trip of a lifetime.

For sure , It's the most important place I've ever vacationed to. But I love me a cruise from time to time.

It's been a bittersweet day. I spent it with several old friends. Unfortunately we were together to say good-bye to our friend Karen, who I've known since we were two. She passed away on the 3rd after a long illness. Other than my parents, I don't think any loss in my life has been more heartbreaking. I'm really sorry to hear this, Cei-U.

Every year for my birthday, my wife tries to get me a really cool comics or Star Wars tee-shirt. This year she saw a very cool vintage Iron Man image on a t-shirt and picked it up for me, but there's just one problem...those of you who know me will understand why I am hesitant to wear this shirt... Damn Yankees! And with the Sox playing the Yanks in a 4 game series this weekend with first place up for grabs! -M Happy late Birthday MRP ! Her heart was in the right place, and that's a righteous image otherwise.

Terribly sorry for your loss. My wife and I attended a funeral for a friend this weekend, too. It just sucks.
