On March 12th I have told you about my friend that was ill and that I would have to say goodbye to him soon. I did not expect then, that the moment to say goodbye would be today already. He will be cremated today and nothing but a pile of dust will remain of that big man so full of life.
Today it is Good Friday and everywhere in the Netherlands the St. Matthew Passion is being performed. I put the link to the wonderful all of Bach site here, so you can see today's integral performance already.
I have posted Erbarme Dich before. But I cannot send more comfort to my friend than to play "Have mercy" upon his soul for him. So this one, my friend, is just for you. May your soul find rest.
My condolances, Han. I kniw hiw difficult it is to lose a good friend.

I am so sorry, Han. It is very sad, and hard, to lose a good friend. We also lost one two weeks ago, and laid him to rest last Friday. But since then lots of memories of all the good times we had, and the laughs we had, have comforted us.
ReplyDeletePrayers and blessings to you, my friend, and a special prayer for your friend that he finds peace.
