The funeral is Saturday morning. I imagine I'll be seeing many of the "friends" I haven't seen in a long long time.
I'll report in the aftermath.
My "best" friend (active JW) has just died

All the best anyways .
Personally I find it very weird going to any talk at a KH now, like really weird.
My last was at my mother's funeral, what I expected came true, where people (JWS) were using the event to sell and promote their religion, such as see we have a hope of a resurrection and will be all meeting together one day in paradise.
I even got the cold shoulder from some JWS who thought I mustn't have been DFed and left, when in reality I was never baptized and never DFed. just quietly walked away some 30 years ago.

I have a Johnnie. She's a blonde bombshell, and has lived a double life. After all these years, I miss her. We made contact a few years ago; it was surreal and brief. I think our relationship is like a Kubrick movie, so complex, yet REAL. Love you always, K. My very first sister-friend, and always.

I never had a friend like that Terry. You were blessed. I know this is 3 months from your original post, but I just found it. My condolences.

Thank you. I have now a tenuous connection with two of Johnny's kids on Facebook. It warms me. They really love their Dad and miss him.He was one of a kind. Not a day passes that I don't evoke him in constant thought. I have flashes of anger that we missed out on what older people most need--a constant companion with whom you can relive the glory of youth.
But the past has passed. I have to be real and that doesn't come easily if you think more about yesterday than you do today and tomorrow.
