He was palliative with cancer, and on the palliative ward when we last talked, I haven't heard from him in four weeks so I assume it's happened. He was only 40 and had had a kidney transplant, and was awaiting a debulking surgery for a very large tumour, and then got a fungal infection and was admitted. I am going to assume that ended up ending badly.

I'll miss you friend. I enjoyed our talks. He did get a cruise in and was writing a book before he apparently passed. So those are good things, but I really will miss him. Be nice to people, Lemmy.

Thank you so much. Losing an Internet friend is such a weird grief isn't it?

Fuck no it isn't. I'm real, you're real. To me, it says you're empathetic. I want to be friends with people like that. I value your humanity. /hug

Yay! You get a color. I love this, btw. Making friends on here and assigning them highlight colors so I can cheers their contributions. How do you feel about purple? It's royal af yo.
