[quote=Anonymous]He was my best friend from high school (I'm nearly 60 now) and we've been in contact by email for over the last ten years - seeing each other once for a lovely weekend - and talking on the telephone sporadically but always for hours when we did talk.  The last time was just after Thanksgiving.  I thought about calling him last Sunday which would have been the day before he died but was too tired from Christmas travel and just wanted to zone out.

He wanted to marry me.  He mentioned it again in our last telephone conversation.  He gave me my first kiss in high school and we talked about him giving me my last kiss as well.  The truth was that I never felt that way about him and always had to be careful about not leading him on.  But we were friends and I did enjoy our long conversations.

I am only in contact with one other high school friend who knew him and we've already spoken.  I live on the other side of the country from where his memorial service will be and cannot attend.  It would be wrong for me to have never visited his hometown when he was alive but would go for his funeral.

Anyway, I am posting just to tell someone - anyone - that I lost an old friend. I cannot believe that I will never talk to him again and just called his phone to hear his message one last time.  I am very sad.  I loved him.  [/quote]
