Farewell My Friend.

I remember the days that we
spent together in my pursuit to
further my knowledge, you as
my mentor and I as your pupil.

Down through the years we have
had more then just a teacher and
pupil relationship, we became the
very best of friends.

I watched your hair turn grey and then
you watched mine, sadly I received
news today coming from afar that you have
gone on your final journey and we
shall never have those long academic
discussions ever again.

Such news that greeted me gave me
such a heavy heart and tears in my
eyes, for I know I shall never see
my dear friend again.

I will forever cherish the fond memories
of the past years we had shared and
our friendship and reminisce on all the
good times for those will always be
with me.

You will always have a very special
place in my heart, my mentor and
my dear friend always.
A friend that shared my life.
