Extra, Extra Read all about it

Today was a  regular day, i took some street photos to process at the later time, i got home spend some time with the kids, had dinner, walked the dog, all routine things. 11pm The phone rings, its never a good when the phone rings at night, its my best friends wife, he was in accident and he is in the hospital. OK  i get dressed and take off to go there and then my world gets turned upside down, when i get to the hospital i am meet by the cop and the doctor telling me i am sorry and shaking my hand. MY friend of 20 years is gone just like that. Earlier today i spend probably about 3 hours talking to him about all kinds of things the longest we spoke in the long time. The hospital was rough between his family and so on, i tried to stay strong and not show any emotion at least there, did not know how to deal with it any other way at the moment. Fast forward i am home writing this, because i cant sleep, i cant do anything i am sick to my stomach and i need to talk this out as i am drinking a bottle of scotch. So what now, whats next i don't know everything has changed. The best thing about life, is life its that simple, nothing else matters! The tears are running down as i am writing this and my thoughts are all over the place. He will be remembered, life goes on. There is so much more on my mind but i just cant get it together at the moments, so i leave you with this pictures as a memory

Eddie had a heart of gold I can't believe this, I am shocked, confused and destroyed! Please keep us in the loop, I want to come and say my good byes to him as well......... Thank you for staying brave and informing us. Eddie, R.I.P brother, we will miss you dearly.

    Eddie: R.I.P.
    The weirdest thing is that after 11 years or so of hanging out and all the wild shit (Roma, you know what I am talking about), all of a sudden, we started talking last Friday, first through the odnoklassniki, when he sent me a PM, and then an e-mail. ET came up with an idea to launch a Classics night. I guess it was some kind of a sign. That's his answer to my trivial question of "How is life treating you these days?"
    "I am good bro, wife, kids, work... Same shit... How about you? We need to get together and do a classic night!"

      Not sure about classic night, but a get together is needed and we can play classics ourselves.

      Definitely. When is the funeral/wake? Does the family want to keep it private?
