As time passes bye we begin to realize that it not just the aches and pains that we tend to accumulate with old age but the "invisible hurt" that goes with the passing of so many old friends. When you are young you are surrounded by both old friends and new friends. Then you suddenly realize that you don't have many left and that really leaves a hole in your heart. That is what has happened to me with the passing of Emir.I'll miss you old friend. Requiem in Pace.
