Procrastination..

Just found out that one of my best friends has about 48-72 hours left on this earth... fucking cancer!

I have not talked to him in a few years, thought about him many times but never picked up that phone, now it is to late.
Always found an excess not to call.. it is to late, he is most likely to busy or I will just call tomorrow.

In another thread I told someone that account of my procrastination I would place them at the top of my list of regrets.. sorry but this now takes their place.

To my friend..
Until we meet again you will be greatly missed so keep the beer cold and the bait alive.

Sorry to hear about your friend. We've all had regrets in our lives and I'm sure we'll all have many more. Keep thinking good thoughts about your friend even through this difficult time.

We all do that. Just because you don't talk to a good friend doesn't mean you are any less. I don't talk to some of mine for months or years, it's a two way street and when we do finally talk it's like no time passed. That's the way it is if they were really your friend in the first place. That's how lives are--busy. You will have plenty of chances to fix it in the next week. You only need to be there to pay your respects so his family knows there are people who care in their time of grief...and yours. Just don't wierd out. And if he is in a condition now where he is able to see people, now is okay. Call someone near him and ask--and you can at least pass along your acknowledgement that you cared, and they then to him if he can hear it.

I am on my way to say good bye, but the selfish part of me does not want to see him this way, I want to remember him the way he was.

To be honest, I am going more in to support his family then to see him... it is going to be hard pretending to be strong for them... just hope I can pull it off.

I have to say that the last few months have been very trying to say the least... but I am not going to let this blow knock me all the way back down.
