[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry, OP.  I had a very similar loss a few years ago.  Someone from high school, who lived on the opposite side of the country, and I reconnected (thanks to the internet) and seemed to pick up our friendship exactly where we left off with no time lost at all.  We talked about everything and anything with such ease as only old friends can do.  We continued a phone and email friendship, promising one day to get together, for over eight years.  Like you, no one in my day-to-day, DC life ever met her or knew her.  Part of me had always been in love with her but would never act on it as we were both happily married.

She passed away suddenly without warning and it felt as if that door to my past was now closed forever.  I mourned her.  I miss her now.

Be glad you did have an in person weekend with your old friend and be glad that you did reconnect.  But I do know it hurts and I am so sorry.  It will take longer to accept fully that he is gone as you didn't speak every day.  At least that was how it was for me.  [/quote]
