Just home from Brighton

A long and emotional day. Wednesday one of my best friends sadly passed at the age of 53, we think of a heart attack.

I had known him since we started school together at 4 years of age, both from Langley so obviously a blue

I was on the verge of not going Brighton but had to go as it’s what I do but as the goals went in I filled up for each one knowing he no longer with us to celebrate and I will never get to go the match with my mate again.

Not sure why I writing but it seems to help, easier than saying it out loud.

I’m upset and I’m also scared, we don’t have long here and I at times unsure if I wasting time I have but I also feel that I am not.

The lads played good tonight and made a potentially difficult game look easy, thanks for that as I needed it

53 is no age. So very sad. RIP to your mate and condolences to family and friends like yourself. You are not wasting time following City home and away BTW. I'm pretty sure that your friend would tell you that too...

So sorry to hear this. You did the right thing both to post on here, where there are so many supportive folk willing to help each other out, and also to go to the game as I'm sure it's what your mate would have wanted. RIP Blue
 
Sorry for your loss mate. You're not wasting your time - appreciate you feel bleak right now but it'll pass and the above poster couldn't put it any better - you are now shouting and singing for two is bang on.
 
Condolences to your pals family and friends. The right decision to go to the match and an even better one to be brave enough to put it out on here.

Big Bluemoon arms round you and yours mate.

Sorry for your loss.

Lost one of my best friends at the age of 49 from cardiac arrest, its the suddeness of it that hits those left behind, hard to comprehend.

We went everywhere together, home, away abroad under Keegan.

He was here for Aguerooooo but none after.

Everytime we win another trophy I look to the sky and say that one's for you mate.

I like to think he is still watching and is having a quiet word with the big man to say after all the dross we saw we deserve more of these good times.

City till WE die.

First off so sorry to read about your loss, unbelievably sad.

It is strange but also understandable and good for you to to type that. Remember when a good friend of mine passed, went to the old pub where we used to hang out, got talking to a stranger and explained why I was there, he listened and we chatted about Rik, this stranger didn't know him so it felt easy to open up.

Good for you for going. Your mate would have wanted that.

Daft comparison but here goes. My Mum was an excellent cook and host. She taught me to cook which is something I really enjoy to this day. Every time I put a plate of food on the table and see people enjoying it, it brings back memories of my Mum.

Clearly you will carry memories with you and I hope these see you through this difficult time.

EDIT: I know I have typed "host" regarding my Mum and technically should be "hostess" however at the time we had one of those food keep warm things called a Hostess. If you ever called Mum Hostess she would point at it and say "that's the hostess, we are your hosts"

Rip to your friend mate that’s quite young so is a shock.
Unfortunately I like many others here are at an age where we have seen lots of friends and family pass away, I myself at 64 seem to think about about my own mortality a lot more than I did.
It’s difficult not to when someone close to you passes away.
My best friend died 4 years ago completely out of the blue and a big part of my life disappeared over night.

We remember them and move on.

As they say time heals

Best wishes mate.
