for my friend.....

found out today that a very good friend and fishing buddy died
he had taught me so much as long as i knew him, and was an avid outdoorsman, died because of complications with a medicine he was taking for a blood clot in his lungs, was only 49, made these for him,

the top one will be shot into a lake somewheres in memory of him, the bottom will be given to his wife, if he taught me one thing about life is that you cant stress over everything, and just to relax, and have fun....he will be missed

Sorry about your friend Monkey. I think making an arrow and shooting it for him is a good thing.

I lost my best buddy this past winter to cancer. We went to school together from 4 th grade on and where together til he was called forth. So many wonderful memories, yeh we could fly. And damned if we did not, without drugs. Just went only far enough to have somemuch clean fun. I sure wish I had more time to spend in our later life doing anything with him. As we always had so much fun and woderful memories. He also was 49 like me today. So I to grieve with you.

We all have stories about those lost..some who were our seniors and lived long lives...some who battled dreaded diseases...it's always harder to cope when it's something that was messed up, but in our grief, we have to remember that doc's are human too and prone to make mistakes. And with all the drugs out there to treat and heal, nobody really knows all that can happen.

My prayers that as the grief process, and it is a process, diminshes that you will be flooded with memories and warm thoughts of all you shared, not what is lost.

Life is a present and it must be shared to be enjoyed. It sounds like you two had grand times together. He lives on in your heart!

Peace and healing to you and his loved ones in this time of loss.
