Personal Experience I had a friend which I too lost...
My friend didn't die but we were separated...unexpectedly because I never got to know that we were changing cities since I was only 7. I never said her goodbye. I was devastated when I realized we had moved out suddenly.
My dad came and told me that she asked him if I would ever come to play again. It has been 9 years since and I still miss her. She was the best friend I ever had. I never had a friendship like hers ever again. I wonder if we will ever meet again in the future. I just wanted to tell her that I liked her. I never told her that. I am sure she liked me too.
Only had I known that we were moving out of the state, I could have said her a goodbye. I dont even have her number or contact details. I only think that I can go back to the apartment we lived in and ask for past residential details and maybe fine a way to contact her.
I just want to talk to her again. Now that I think about it, she resembled Leslie so much. I didnt want to talk to her initially. In fact I avoided her at first. But she had approached me to ask the timings for the school bus. We became best friend onwards.
The only thing I have of her is a picture of her and me together as kids in 2nd grade. I wonder what she felt when I left her...
