Reply To: Shared Sorrow is Half a Sorrow

John,

I’m so sorry to hear about your friends, their families, and your struggles. About 12 years ago, I lost one of my best friends (Rich) to cancer. Watching him slip away as the cancer took him was tough. He was the best man at my wedding and joined me on many IL, WI, and Canadian fishing trips. The first few trips without him were tough, but as time passed, I found myself thinking about him every time I was on the water. I enjoy my silent moments with him now. Thinking about all the times we had together on the water and in life. I too, know that Rich will be waiting with a pole for me one day and we’ll go out and catch some lunkers together.

Peace, Ken
