Glynn, My prayers go out to you and his family. The Lord says a “true friend sticks closer than a brother.” He also never promises us tomorrow so we need to grasp everyday and the Word also says” Do not worry about tomorrow because today is sufficient for its on trouble.” Take each day as it comes and allow the healing process to run its course. To have aquantences is good but to have two, or even one, true friend in life is considered a blessing . True friends are rare and it sounds like both you are blessed to have each other! God bless, Chris
