Condolences to all who knew & loved Andrew.
Hope this isn't 'too soon'............. As sad & as unfathomable that 'death' may be to those of us left behind, it's just a parting of ways for a short time.
Imagine immigrants of old, being waved away by friends & family, standing on a wharf as the boat disappears. Sad because they know they wont see their loved one again in this life, yet happy that they're going to a warmer climate with better opportunities.
Your friend is on the boat while his friends & family wave farewell from the wharf.
Be happy for Andrew & send him your love. He'll be waiting for you from where all those with a "with a heart of gold" go. 'In my fathers(/mothers) mansion there are many rooms'.
It's those who are left behind who need our comfort.
Something tells me that Andrew will be looking over family & friends once he 'finds his feet'. Couldn't think of a better protector than a "gentle giant with a heart of gold" : )
