Remembering LTO

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Remembering LTO

Post by Cinnamoncat »

Two years ago, on December 7th--Pearl Harbor Day-- a close friend died. There hasn't been much study into why and how people can grow to be friends with exes, but it just happened. So it was that my first husband continued to be like family to me.

He always called and checked on me when I was going through rough times. He didn't distance himself. He was there for me. Just the other day, I was thinking that he would be comforting me over my husband's horrible accident (neck broken in several places, a ladder fall).He had great respect for him, and always asked about him.

He would be showing concern for my dog's surgery; he loved animals himself. I miss having him in my life, and I miss his quiet sarcasm and good sense of humor. I miss having him to check in on me. I miss talking to him. He was a kind and good person, and my life was better for having him in it.

It was very surprising and sad. I didn't know who he was in real life but he had a very knowledgeable and unique take on Cambodia which I admired. I miss his input on these forums. RIP.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Two years. His death was such a shock to all of us. He will always be greatly missed as I'm sure many of us will never forget him.
