Back to your Past ?
Had a weird thing happen recently ... bumped into a Old friend that I haven't seen in probably 24, maybe 25 years..
We get to talking about the 'Old Days" and I ask him about a Very good friend of ours back in the day.
This was a guy who I became Good friends with, hung out almost every day.... Became close with his Family
I helped him out many times, and he Helped me a few times. Guess you can say we were best Friends for like a 12 year period.
But the friendship ended one year because he had a Coke problem.
Anyway, moving along......
So I asked the guy I bumped into How's "Bob" ( not his real name )
Guys says he's Dead ! The guy was 47 years old !!
Of course i was thinking Drugs... but had heard he was doing good, got married, had 2 kids, etc.
He said that around Christmas 2009 he started feeling sick. went to the doctors and was diagnosed with brain cancer.
and died 4 months later.
I spent the rest of the night reading the articles on how and when he died.
He was a Horsemen so there were plenty of articles on him.
anyway... they have made a couple of Races named after him... they started a special fund for his Kids for a College fund.... So I was thinking of maybe i should donate something
Then I do some research.... I find that the Wife met someone after 11 months... Got Married within 2 years
Moved away from "Bob's" Family... and I got all pissed off ! ( I really have no right though )
Guess it's tough bringing up 2 kids alone.
That Special Fun had a Web Site, but it's Down now.... been 3 years since he died.
Read somewhere they were looking to get like $100K, but not sure what they got.
Do I still Donate ??
On another note.... Found a name I recognized in one of the stories... Looked at her facebook account, and saw a Ton of people I used to know..... Thinking about making contact with some.... But I feel you can Never go back.
