Dear Friends, I have lost 2 of my friends. Once I was in my 7th grade I have heard that our school lost a boy who have gone to take swim in a pond and it was a lil deep and he was stuck on the mud and he was drowned there. But at that time it has not created ant great impact on me. But recently I have lost my friend who worked with me in my office and he was very good in his work and was a nice guy and earned a lot of friendship for his good character. Recently he had got a new job and for a better pay he joined in another office and there he went to a picnic spot with a dangerous waterfalls and he was slipped and drowned. His colleagues searched the place for him but couldn't find him and at the dawn they found his dead body floating on the water. I was really shocked to hear that and he was just 25 years of age. This incident really disturbed me for some days and I was so sad about the incident and really spend during that days with the thought 'how few are the days of a man'. Do you have any experience...... Please share.. I appreciate it... Cheers.....

Oh my God, I'm so sorry. That's horrible. You're in my thoughts. When I was in ninth grade, my neighbor was killed in a freak accident where he was trying to get his son's motorcycle unstuck (I know that's not a word) from beside some old train tracks, and we didn't even know those tracks were still in use but he did look both ways...his helmet and the way the mountains were positioned blocked the sound and prevented him from seeing, and he was hit by a train. That had a huge impact on me, and we all still miss him eight years later. His wife and children are very close to my family and very important to us.

Thats really pathetic. I don't know whether people are unlucky in their lives. How can we define them? Very sad to hear those kind of accidents...

I have lost many friends over the years but the one that hurts the most is the one who killed himself. I had no idea anything was wrong in his life. I had a hard time for years thinking I should have seen a problem and helped him. Until one night I dreamed he was in a garden. I walked up and we sat down and talked. He told me that there was nothing I could have said or done that would have helped him. He also told me to not cry or feel sad for him anymore because he was happy now. These days I think of him and smile.

I lost two college mates almost 5 years ago due to tsunami wave in 2004. One of them was my friend since in junior high. The other was very close to me. She sat next to me in college days and was very kind. I cried a lot that time, I missed her so much, even during the first year, I often dreamt about her. I used to work at the same office with her cousin, so seeing him around reminded me of her. I pray to God that both of my friend will be in peace.
