I never thought he would die

Henry was grieving. His beloved friend Charles died. The friend he had fun with, the friend who never let him down. It hurt him badly. By losing Charles, he lost a part of him, the last piece of youth he had. And by his demise, Charles offered him his last and most valuable gift: he made Henry realize.

Henry was not young anymore. He was old. So was Charles. And old men were meant to die. Henry realized that he was in denial. Nevertheless, he was sincere when he whispered sadly " I never thought he would die.". He imagined that Charles was immortal, that he would be the one who would bury him.

He wished it was the case.
