I just learned that a dear friend of mine passed away yesterday. He had cancer. Without him, you would not read any word I write. Without his encouragement, his humour, and his knowledge, I would not have dared to share any poetry. He was an extraordinary man.
Goodbye, Robert. I will always love you. You will be missed.
My condolences go to his family and friends.

Yes. There was a lot of life in him. But I also know that he was suffering a lot, and these past months were very painful. I hope he is at peace now.

My condolences Cathy. Losing a dear friend is rough, and to happen so close to Christmas makes it all the more painful.

Yes. It must be a hard time for his family. He was quiet on all his social media channels and every where else too these last two weeks. I was expecting some kind of bad news. But I was still shocked and I am very sad that a good man is gone.
