Some sad news Christmas Day

On Christmas I found out that an old friend of 40 years had passed away. He was 65.
He lived in Connecticut and we’ve not been in touch the past couple years.

I didn’t hear the reason he died, but as he died while in a “care facility” I assume it was due to some illness.
I’ve been thinking back to the many fun times we had camping on the shore of Cape Cod,
and in his parents’ rustic cabin in the woods of Vermont.

We would go to the cabin a couple times each winter to shovel the snow off the roof so it didn't cave in from the weight ... (and to party)

The two cats my wife and I had for 14 years were from a litter his cat had.

Another soul to welcome me when it's my turn to cross over.
