My dear friend Ivan,
I sang Happy Birthday to you on your birthday.
I'm so sorry you weren't able to hear it on your answering machine.
Our shared tradition will be missed.
I didn't hear from you after leaving more phone messages.
I was worried and this morning called to see if you were a patient at YNH Hospital. I then slowly typed your name into Google.
The tears flowed quickly when your obituary came up.
I'm so grateful that we have been close friends for 43 years.
I'll miss you...
Dougie
