Friends passing.

Today I got a wake up email from an old friend. It was telling me the tragic news of another of our old friends passing away last night. He wasn't my best friend by no means, but we hung out with the same group for a few years. He dated my best friend, and he was always around to make you laugh, usually at his own expense. His mom was a Tarot card reader, she would read your palms too, we always had a good time. He was the childhood best friend of one of my ex's, Mike's Best Friend (the one that set me up with Mike, go figure) .

Anyways, I hate to hear news like this, an old friend, you expect to run into again someday when your in your hometown at a party or something, just gone.

He had been visiting his family in Vegas and fell asleep driving home. Just a tragic accident. If you have ever driven that stretch of desert highway from vegas to LA, you know exactly how crazy a drive it can be....the speed limit is apparently 100mph!!!!

I called to tell my sister in law about him, she was friends with him too. And she wentto check the paper and see if it said anything yet, she said it showed the accident from the day before that killed an entire 6 person family, the same strech of highway!!! So pray for these families, especially the Behar family, this will hit them hard since they were a very very close family!!

I have no idea why it all hit me so hard today, I guess it just hit me, that my friends are dying. I just lost another friend at Christmas time, my friend Josh died of a heroin overdose. That was the main reason we stopped hanging out with him, he and one of my best friends started getting into heavy duty drugs, so I withdrew myself and haven't really talked to either of them since. I guess tehy went their separate ways, but she was in jail for a year, thanks to dealing drugs and DUI's and his family moved him to South Carolina to start a new life. He was supposedly starting anew. He had a fiancee, a newborn baby girl, only 1 month old. His fiancee found him face down on the bed, with the needle still in his arm.....6 months of sobriety down the drain to sneak out in the middle of the night for a fix.

I love my old friends I really do, they are part of my life forever and always. But I don't feeli lik eit is fair that majority of us have become wonderful people, did the family/ marraige thing, then a few seem to have gotten left behind.

Here is to my Old School friends of the past. I love you all and miss you guys tons, even if I don't get to tell you everyday. We will always be connected somehow!!!
