Question about English (US)
A. Before Jim went away to college, we'd fight sometimes, but there was no one I admired or wanted to impress more. I know it sounds pathetic, but somehow my life doesn't seem completely real without Jim here to share in it.
Q1) In example A, does "here to share in it" describe "Jim" ?
Q2) Is this part "without Jim here to share in it" correct English?
B. Before Jim went away to college, we'd fight sometimes, but there was no one I admired or wanted to impress more. I know it sounds pathetic, but somehow my life doesn't seem completely real without Jim to share in it.
Q3) Even without the word "here", is "without Jim to share in it" correct English?
Q4) As for "without Jim to share in it", does "to share in it" describe "Jim"?
I would say yes to these four questions, but I'm not 100% sure about my answers.

Q1) “here to share in it” refers to Jim, but “it” means his LIFE.
Q2) yes, correct English
Q3) I think it’s still correct, but it’s better with the word “here”
Q4) “it” describes “my life”

Thank you very much
But as for "without Jim to share in it", even without the word "here", does "to share in it" refer to " Jim" ?

It’s difficult because the phrase refers to “Jim” AND “my life.”
But the passage first talks about when Jim was there,
fighting with Jim,
respecting Jim,
then missing Jim when he wasn’t there.
...my life doesn't seem completely real without Jim to share in “my life.”
