I would say let it go! It hurt less that way. Celebrate the ones still active and blessing us everyday with their knowledge. Today could be anyone's last!!

People have their own way to deal with it. I remember my friends, remember their memory, remember our time, good and bad. It makes me feel alive and inspire me to do good things knowing they are always watching and smiling. I feel empty inside but that emptiness reminds me that I am a part of greatness which brings the true meaning of my life.

I don't compare real life with digital life and this forum is the only "social media" I 've ever used.
This forum feels a lot like home to me - again, I don't compare it with real life -.
o_e_l_e_o has been the "uncle I 'd like to be like" in the future. Therefore, him gone has been a very powerful feeling, despite the fact that I don't know who he is. (I am using present tense on purpose).
