Time and old friends

I’ve just found out that someone from my earliest memories passed away April of last year.  He was one of the first people to help my family and I when we first came here to these strange shores.  This passing along with my Grandmother, an old boss last year and my Parent’s dog this year leaves me bewildered.  I understand the effects of time at a subconscious and intellectual level, but it doesn’t prepare me…
