I also know of the grief you express. I wish there was anything anyone could do.
All I can say is your friend would want you to remember the love you shared, to be happy, and look forward to each day that has been blessed because of the growth of your ability to love that you gained by constant practice with Finnegan.
I am deeply touched by the joy in both your eyes in the picture of you together. While you are now apart, it is thus time for you to share your love and joy with others who become part of your life.
It's infectious. You caught it from him, and can give it to others, who need it. There's no one who does not need it.
Thank you for your wise words - your post is incredible and it made my day shine much, much brighter. I upvoted it! You could not have said it any better and for that, I thank you.

It is because of the good people in the world like you, that I am able to thrive and deepen my ability to love <3 I just followed you!
