Your friend is in my thoughts and prayers, and you are too. Even if you don't actually say "goodbye," that's what you're going to do. Its not going to be easy, but you will be SO glad you did. In 2001, I said goodbye to a neighbor who had been like a grandfather to me. We went the night he died, just a few hours before, and all said goodbye to him. I'm so glad we did.
I concur with what everyone else said. Go. You'll hate yourself if you don't. And don't worry about what to say. He knows the drill. Just talk about what he wants to talk about. He knows that most people don't know what to say, so just follow his lead. ..He will know what you're there for. |
