My Best Friend - gone too soon
Good Sunday morning everyone, I hope that you all have a great day and last Sunday of the year!
This year has been a rough emotional year. I know that I’m not the only one that has gone through and continues to go through rough things, just have to stay strong and continue to fight for each day!
Easier said than done I know! There were days after I went to see my best friend of 30 years and found out that he wasn’t with us anymore that I didn’t want to get up out of bed! There were days when I didn’t! I pushed myself to get up and work and do what I had to in order to get by and then went right back to bed! Yes, I was that depressed and out of it!
I’ve never been that down and low in my life. He was an amazing best friend…He was my best friend since back in high school. We went through so much in our lives together and even though we didn’t always live in the same town or state or down the street from one another we always kept in touch one way or another!
He wasn’t only my best friend, he was my first love, my true love! Back in high school, we had met at our school bus stop. We became friends and then a couple and even during our rough times and broke up we remained friends and that meant the world to me.
I had it in my head and heart all these years that even if he went and did his own thing got married and had kids and I did the same that nothing and no one could ever come between us as best friends! That is something that he told his wife and that’s something that my husband was always aware of as well.
So to answer the question can a man and a woman is only friends once they have been boy/girlfriend and break up and be friends after…yes absolutely!
He told me that my kids were like his kids to him and the same for me and his kids. He spent Christmas with us one year…my daughter’s first Christmas, that was very special.
I miss him every day…hard to believe that it's coming up on a year since I went there and heard his alarm clock going off through the front door to his apartment and couldn’t get in! Thankfully another best friend was on the phone with me and calmed me down and I called 911 and had them come out and sure enough, he was in there and had already passed away!
That was the hardest day for me of my life! I had talked to him a few times every day for the past 2-3 weeks and we were talking just like we always did just more than norm daily around then. I was going there to spend the weekend with him to get away from things and we had it planned for a couple of weeks and then that happened…so the last time that I saw him in person was back in July of 2016 which was the weekend that his grandson was born.
It’s hard for me to share my thoughts and feelings about him on here but for whatever reason today just seemed like a day to let some of it out. I’ll continue to try and open more on here in the following days/weeks and talk about other things rather than Trump!
This was back on Feb 24th, 2018 when this happened and that was a horrible time/day….until Oct 11th…the day that I found out that my 22-year-old son was killed by a train. Will write/share more about that as well in the following days/weeks.
For now, that is all – much love and hugs always from your Queen of Random-Lisa
