I just need to get this out.
I am literary the worst friend in the world.
I decided today that it was too long since I´ve talked to a friend of mine. We had plans to meet at christmas, but I never heard from him, so I figured he´d been buissy. I decided to call him, and invite him out for breakfast this friday.
I called him, but the number was disconnected, I thought it was odd.
So I logged into facebook so send a message, and there it was... His page now was a memoriam page.
He died, during christmas. And I find out 5 months later, a friend who I talked to every week. I had not been to his facebookpage since christmas, I had not reacted to the lack of messages, or sms. I had not even seen the orbituary in the paper. The funeral was 5 months ago.
It´s such a devastating loss, this wonderful person, and I did not miss him enough in those 5 months that I find out he is dead until today.
I suck. Sure I am buissy, work is absolutly shit these days, and I am constantly tired. But this is absolute a low point even for me.
I missed my friends funeral because I did not know he was dead.
I am the worst friend in the world, he deserved so much better
A friend of mine died. The circumstance were mentioned on the news, but I guess you could say I wasn't paying attention to the name. I think we are trained not to listen to those details.
Only the next day, when the anchor mentioned the funeral of the deceased would be postponed until his mum and sister could fly in from Australia that I got a clue.
Bottom line: These things happen. If you really were a bad friend you wouldn't be writing these things.
But it could be you are not managing yourself the best lately. Think about it. What's going on with that job of yours ?
