I had a buddy of mine who was like a grandfather to me. He had to take some time for his own health. I did finally re connect last October, and sent him a letter. He passed before I got any reply.I had so many dreams of seeing him again over the time we didn't talk. I imagined doing fun things with him, and helping with more projects. I'm so worried he didn't actually care and was just humoring me.
People also judged me for treating him like family, but their was never a moment he wasn't sharing a cool story, or offering advice.
I found out he passed while working and wasn't close enough with anyone else besides his wife, and I don't have any way of contacting her. I'm not sure they would really want me to.
It is good to miss your friend. Don't re-think how much he cared for you. Appreciate that you were friends. Send his family a nice sympathy card and mention how much he meant to you. Maybe try to be grateful for knowing him rather than creating a negative thoughts about what others think. be kind to you
