Word came today my old pard and best bud died this morning after breakfast. Nursing home, encephalitis, some dementia. Watching his life be sold off, only memories to live on. Hits harder than I anticipated, I now have no tight friends left.
First opportunity I will get out and shoot the Colt Commander I got from him.
Good memory; his son married my daughter so the grandsons got to camp and hunt with both granddads on the same trips.
He was not on the fire.
Sorry for your loss.
Somewhere not far from you in a guy who is in the same boat. He lost his best friend and is in grief over it as well. He also likes hunting, fishing and guns ect. Try to find that guy and chat about your life’s experiences.
I have lived in many parts of the US. I met great people in all places. There are idiots everywhere but there are a lot of decent people too.
There is no expiration date on friendships. No, you don’t have a lifetime to foster a new friendship. But to say that you have no one left to hang out with is utter BS in my opinion.
Loneliness is a terrible thing in itself. The good news is that it’s largely voluntary if you can get around.
