It keeps coming. The pain, the sorrow, the anger, the bitterness... all of it.
I woke up this morning with a lump in my throat. It still hasn't gone away. At least I didn't have any of the dreams. The dreams are the worst. I'll be walking down the street and see him through the crowd, and I'll stop and look, and it's really him. I call out, and I run over to him, realizing it was all just a huge joke. I'm angry, so I shove him and swear at him and tell him he never should have done it. Then we hug, and our friendship is renewed and all is well again.
And I wake up. It's gone.
The the friendship and joy is replaced by the knowledge I will never know that experience again. My friend is gone and I will not see him this week, or next week, or the week after that. I cannot go to him and pour out my heart, to have him shoulder the burden with me. I cannot tell him of everything else that has gone wrong this month - how the doctor called to say that Rachael's medication will not be approved by the insurance company, that she might just have to go blind because of the selfishness and greed of businessmen. Or the student I love and counsel whose father has forbidden her from talking to me. O God, how can I hope in you when all has fallen?!
And if he were here, maybe I could get through one more day, one more trial, one more problem. But he is gone, and will never come back. And my soul sinks back into hopelessness.
Maybe today I'll put a happy face on it so that everyone around me can move on.
Maybe I won't.

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.
Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
