Your friend will be sorely missed by all those who knew him. He certainly brought a lot of comfort and inspiration to me in the time that I was fortunate enough to spend in his company. But try not to despair at his parting. Instead, rejoice in the memories of the good times you spent together, and of the happiness he brought to us all.</p> <p>And you must look now to the future. You face the mornings now with a new companion, and you will no doubt find each other's ways strange and difficult at first; but I'm sure you will quickly grow accustomed to each other's idiosyncrasies. Don't look to him to fill the shoes of your dear old friend, but rather treat these days as the beginning of something new, and allow him to reach his own wonderful potential. Soon you will be greeting each other in the mornings, full of an altogether new excitement, a new comfort, a new happiness.</p> A sad loss indeed, Richard.
