This sucks
I just got back in contact with a very dear friend from my past. I love this woman with all I've got, so much so that I called my daughter after her, Amy, even though I'd lost contact with her some years before Amy was born.
My friend didn't know that the friend through whom we had originally met had died four or five years ago. I had to be the one to break the news. :(
And I couldn't even be there to hug her. :(
