Remembering my friend G.

Today I have been sitting here, going through my inbox
and checking the emails I got from G. since January 2010.

In one of his emails he refers to himself as "your friend
and informal career advisor". I like that description.

Most of the emails give me links to articles he had read
in the field of our common hobby, but now and then
other subjects would pop up.

Sometimes he wrote like a big brother, a mentor, trying
to give me more selfconfidence.

I made an eight page text listing the articles and some
of our comments, and sent it to his wife, who is now
a widow, and to some common friends.

I think the four hours I kept doing this, was a kind of
personal goodbye ceremony , a virtual funeral.

I miss him.
