She took her time before publicly addressing the death of Matthew Perry, because for Jennifer Aniston, the loss of her friend, who died unexpectedly on October 28, was “a devastating blow,” according to US media reports. But after the social media farewell of her colleagues Matt LeBlanc and Courtney Cox, the actress also wanted to pay homage to the late Chandler Bing on her Instagram profile. And to do this, she chose three specific moments: a black and white photo of the two of them smiling on the set of “Friends”, a screenshot of a message he sent her, and a video from the sitcom in which Rachel (Aniston’s character) said goodbye to her friends and it was Chandler’s turn.
“Oh guys, that was a really hard blow… Saying goodbye to our Matty was a crazy wave of emotions that I had never felt before – we read in the long post that accompanies the recording -. We have all lost people at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Experiencing this pain allows you to feel all the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone so intensely. And we loved him very much. It was an integral part of our DNA. There were always six of us. This was the family we chose forever and it changed who we were and what our path would be.” The message further recalls one of the qualities that set Perry apart most, the ability to make people laugh bring.
“He always said if he hadn’t heard the laughter he would have thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And, boy, was that something he was good at. He made us all laugh. Laugh a lot.” Aniston then reveals that she has spent the last two weeks “reading our messages.” Laughing and crying, then laughing some more. I will carry it with me forever. I found a message that sent to me out of the blue one day. Says it all,” referencing the next screenshot of their conversation, in which Perry had privately written to her, “Making you laugh made my day,” as a comment on the photo , which Aniston posted from the set. “Matty, I love you and I know that you are now completely at peace and far from any suffering,” the actress concludes. I talk to you every day…sometimes I can I could almost hear you saying, “Can you get any crazier?” Rest in peace, little brother. You always made my day.”
