I hear ya. When I don't get any reminders of W it's like she no longer exists. But then something comes in the mail addressed to the two of us, and reality hits home. It will probably take awhile before those feelings go away.

I'm glad your old friend contacting you helped lift your spirits. I wouldn't expect a response necessarily, but you did the right thing thanking him for a random act of kindness, just like you would a stranger.
