I've lost a friend

A few weeks ago I put a friend of mine on a medi-vac flight to Germany. That was the last time I saw him; he lost his battle with the illness he was suffering from shortly after his arrival. His passing has created a hole in me that only time will heal. I'm not sure if the hole will ever fill all the way, in some way I don't want it to. The grieving process really sucks but it's a process we all have to go through. In this day of the virtual world our lost friends are only one Google search away. It's a strange thing to see my friend now plastered all over the net and now I know his memory will live on forever on some server somewhere. The story's will never replace my friend but they will always remind me of him, my friend, my co-worker, husband and father, TSgt Joey Link. I'll miss you brother. http://www.reporternews.com/news/2007/aug/07/family-still-has-no-answer-on-what-caused-death/ http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2007/08/airforce_dyess_death_070806/ http://www.reporternews.com/photos/2007/aug/06/5018/ http://www.patriotguard.org/Forums/tabid/61/postid/601702/view/topic/Default.aspx
