A feeling that stayed with me

A parent of an old friend passed away recently. I’ve been crying lot. I wasn’t very close to them, but in the few interactions I’ve had left a large impression on me growing up. What I witnessed in their demeanor, lifestyle, and family life had shown me something very different than I was used to. Shortly before they passed, my friend asked me to record a memory to listen to – I hope it conveyed my deepest gratitude and gave them peace knowing that their love and kindness reached beyond their own family.
