I had a friend named Russell who passed away last tuesday. Now me and Russ were as tight as you can get for 6 years. Then like all high school friends we moved on with our lives and did not keep in touch. We had a falling out a long time ago. There was a group of us and my other friend Ryan and I have always kept in touch since school. So for the last 20 years me and Ryan have been close and me and Russ were not. Which is strange because I never thought that me and Ryan would be friends for so long. I always figured me and Russ would be in touch it did not happen. His death was quick it was a car accident that killed him.
So last weekend I did things that were in omage to my old friend Russ. By doing these things and remembering him I realised that true friendship should never be taken for granted no matter what problems arise. Having some one to be your friend is an honor that most people today just ignore I think. His passing has shook the foundations of my beliefs. And I am sorry that we never repaired what happened to us. We were both getting to that age when you can sit back and remember all the crazy stuff you did together as kids. I will not be able to sit with him and talk anymore. So my advice from this situation is. If you have a true friend who has your back when the chips are down thank them. If you have a friend who has gotten away for some stupid reason and you don't know why call them! It's never too late when you are alive. But it's pretty hard to tell them anything when they are gone.
I was lucky enough to talk to his mother and ask her the questions I needed to ask and she answered them for me. I feel pretty good about the answers she gave me! I still wish I would have called sooner. We just ran outta time. Don't let this happen to you!!! Say what you need to say ask what you need to ask. Your life is short and you never know when someone you know is gonna leave...
