guilt

[sinnerforgiven]

I lost a friend of mine last week that I went to college with. I hadn't spoke to him in about 2 years and didn't know he had gotten sick.. just found out he was diagnosed with cancer in Aug and died last week.. found out all of this on Sat.. I really wish I had known he was sick and could have spoke to him.. He was a christian so I know I will see him again I just feel so guilty for losing touch and not letting him know how much he meant to me and how much i loved him... I feel so terrible.. I've been praying about my dealing with it b/c I know he's great no in Heaven.. but I just feel so terrible

Hey mate,

If you are special enough to feel guilty for not knowing someone well enough, I'm certain that you would have made a significant impact in your friend's life while you were a part of it. We all loose touch with friends, but it doesn't change the fact that we always love them and think of them. Try not to be so hard on yourself. You sound like a truly wonderful person.
