The Paper Boy That Gone Away

I suddenly remembered a boy that usually walks around the neighborhood to drop newspapers before going to school. It happens that he is my best friend during my primary school days. The sad part is he died right after our graduation due to blood cancer or 'leukemia.' It is also my first time to experience the real truth of death. At first, I thought he is just sick and needs more time to recuperate. Now, I sometimes talk to him and ask his guidance in dealing certain dilemmas in life. He is one of my angels including my biological parents and the people died close to my heart. Do you still remember your loved ones who are in heaven now? Image Credit: animatedimages.org

I tend to follow an Indian spiritual teacher's lessons that once we die we no longer have anything to do with the life of the living. There is nothing better to do but let go. But of course everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and I feel sad about this story.

@yoalldudes I respect that. I am not also sure if there is.

It is hard for young people when they lose friends to illness. I'm sure your friend is watching over you.

Of course I remember those I loved and who are no more.

My loved ones are often appearing to me in my dreams, that gives me a reassuring connection to them again, and strengthens my memory of them, never to forget them. I get comfort from these meetings.

I randomly dream about them especially if there is something to come up with my family. It must be weird to be warned by them.

@Shavkat Most of my dreams with my mother are like old visits with her. I am in her old house, and helping her to do the vacuuming there, for example. I think that I have not been warned in a dream, or maybe, I have not just recognised the dream as being a warning.

I'm sorry that happened. Yes, I do remember them and one day I will be with them.

I am feeling orphaned when I lost both of my parents. I do miss them every day.

Yes I do. I think about them every day. I know they’re watching over me.
