Thanks JT, I am in a pretty good state of mind from cathartic endeavors like posting here and all your guy's encouragements.
It will likely hit me in the gut a few times in the next few weeks to come and then over the beginning of 2021. But, having had the experience of losing at least 12-15 dear friends since I first lost my buddy Richard when I was 18, I have a well established frame of reference and coping skills under my belt.

Life goes on, and one day it will be my turn to breathe my last. Bless everyone till that day, and it will be a worthy life.

Beautiful words Mark
 
Try to only remember the good times. Mental illness of all sorts is hard to fix. At my rip old age of 55, I've lost many old friends. One of my best friends started on the same course later in school. He took tons of hard drugs because his parents "didn't care". His parents put him into military schools. He escaped. He ran away to CA, sold his body for drug money and got Aids. He passed in 1996. I'm suprised he didn't kill himself earlier with his self destructive behavior. I choose to remember the time we were friends. I figure it's the best way I can honor him.

Thanks Chub. Yeah, I am sorry for your friend's plight. So sad to hear of a lifetime of torment.

I know how the ugly sides of life can either crush a person into the depths of detrimental actions. OR conversely on a different personality, life gives them a series of experiences that will mold them and create a defense against the lesser challenges to emerge victorious.

Sadly and too often growing up with a fractured, unsupportive or troubling childhood is usually a hindrance to healthy coping skills and ends up tragic.
 
Dang, Chili.... I'm just now taking all this in on Christmas day. What an F'd-up year. You are definitely one who values friendship dearly, and you have my sincere condolences. May your friend, Scott, R.I.P.

Sysco, Thanks., I would also like to thank one of our newest and most encouraging and thoughtful members Ramo.
I watched our Baltimore Ravens football game and then got on here to find a PM from him. In it, he left me this clip. I flat out told him, it was the most thoughtful thing and an awesome job. Take a listen, guys. Thank you, Ramo.

My sincere condolences, @chilipeppermaniac - and @Thatbastarddon to Your loss as well.

Instead of word the music that gives me most in such situations - more than 200 years old, deep sadness with some little bit of hope - listening while writing these few little words

Thank you, bea, and I am sure Bastarddon does as well.
Not sure if I ever told you, bea. I really admire you and all the cool things you accomplish within your means. You are smart, skilled and an inspiration to me.
In many ways, your abilities and sharp mind remind me a lot of how my friend was. Very smart and a good brain, well read, skilled in building things and an all around fountain of knowledge and camaraderie. It means a lot to me to have your condolences and friendship here.
