Lost a friend suddenly today

[whisky]

My friend Matt who I've known and worked with for 15 years died suddenly at the weekend, last time I spoke to him was Thursday and he seemed fine then.

All I know is they found him in the bath, I'm hoping it was natural causes.

He was only 37.

 

[Volpone]

Ugh. 37. That sucks. I try to remember the line from Death in the "Sandman" comics: "You got what everyone gets, you got a lifetime," but 37 sucks. Just about the time you start getting comfortable in your skin but you're not old enough to worry about everything.

 

[Mirah]

That is so sad Whisky, I'm sorry to hear that. Awful.

 

[StarMan™]

Shit. Well, it's tragic regardless of circumstances. But I get your meaning.

Sorry for your loss.

 

[Dr Dave]

Sorry for your loss. It's a tough thing to happen.

 

[whisky]

I keep wanting to talk to him, to tell him about the friend I lost, then I remember he is the friend I lost.

 

[whisky]

I think I have accepted the loss now, but this is also the longest it's been without one of us sending the other a message.

 

[whisky]

Well I found out the cause of death was a clogged artery to his heart, it would have been instant and painless. Which is better than imagining him banging his head or drowning.

I guess he was always on borrowed time, we're just lucky it never happened while he was at work, I don't think I could have coped with seeing that.

I hate mortality, it's fucking stupid, we need to invent robotic substitutes for all body parts and be fitted with them.
