The mother of my best friend...

[Mark42]

I spoke to the mother of my best friend since collage. Me and Pierce did lots of stuff with cars (and other things illegal) . Over the years we both married. Had kids. He always had the flashy cars, the trophy wife, the perfect kids, the big business. Later I find out his wife left him, his business failed, his kids are gone.

He was a good friend after I was crushed in a car accident (and I was divorced that same month). After many months of hanging with his wife and kids, he gets divorced and drops off the radar screen.

Gone.

No one know where he is....

Gone....


Now I am doing fairly well, and can offer a hand. Where is he? Who knows....

Called his mom a few minutes ago. We had a nice chat. She khows who I am, the kid who spend many years in her kitchen.... She still will not give me his phone number.


So I gave her mine. (same as the last 15 years)

Told him to call.


We will see. Good friends are hard to find.

I have lost all mine.... My wife is my best friend.... I hope I never lose her... Or the kids....

Who else can you count on?

He might be in jail.....

& my two sisters.....

Re: The mother of my best friend...

Jail... Didn't thing of that. .... We used to have all the coked up babes his dad could supply. Nothing like a runway model on coke to spend a whole evening giving her best before she realizes( the next morning) that you are just the boses son's friend! LOL!!!!

So????? Where is the rich son?

Very noble of you Mark.

Re: The mother of my best friend...

It is hard to accept that people that you become close friends with fade away. Peers that you admire and try to emulate, the fraterity brothers that saved your butt, that you supported....

I am almost ashamed that I have tried to maintain frendship with people that were such high level shining stars and ended up a complete disaster. People that had better scores and a higher GPA than me. People that (when we were in a bar on the "border" area) thought it was OK to take on a huge black man (with racial slurs) when they were dunk, and it was better that I beat my drunk friend to the ground until the blood ran from my nuckels, than let the black man with his friends drag him out back and do permanent damage to him.

Ya know, sometimes I just give up.

I'm doing Ok, Screw them.... I'm too old for this sh*t.

Ya think?

THere's a old song, i think it's Crosby's it goes like this. Traveling twice the speed of sound it's easy to get burned. You had your healing time, give him his....

Is he is ticked at you from this time when you were hanging with his wife and kids? or is is his behavior just unexplained? Why won't his mom give you his phone number?

As far as his crash and burn goes, all is not always what it seems. I see people all the time who are living large and clearly do not have the resources to do so. Yet they act in a way that is superior. His life and marriage may have been a facade that just became to hard to support.

I think people get to a point in life where life and its expereinces are no longer new and exciting. If you have not built up a durable foundation, it comes crashing down.

It don't know me. I have 2 landlines, and 3 cell phones. I own two seperate properties. I also have 3 cars and 5 trailers registered. Why doesn't it know me? www.zabasearch.com seems to work very well when I wanna snoop around.

Re: The mother of my best friend...

That really sucks. Sometimes people just change for no apparent reason, and cut off contact with everyone. I have an aunt in a similar situation - she got devorced and nobody in the family has heard from her since then...5 years ago. We don't even know if she's still alive.

I used to have 6 best friends, and one by one they've all died in the last two years. I always get nervous now when I get a call at an odd hour, I'm so tired of getting horrible news. The only one I have left that I can really count on is my dog. One of my friends disappeared in 2005...after about a year I spent an entire week hunting him down. I found him in a really bad place doing really bad things, never in a million years would I have thought he would get involved in that kind of stuff. I called his mom to try and get him some help...a few days later he overdosed and left us forever.

I hope you find him...you're right, good friends are impossible to replace. There will always be an empty place inside of me where my friends used to be. Not a day goes by that I don't think about them.

Ya know, Im now 48 years old. And ALL the real friends I have made except for one over my lifetime have gone their own ways. But I have moved around the country a bit, so its harder to keep distant friends than near friends. CA to NJ is a bit of a stretch over 10 or 15 years....

So, don't take it too hard. There are people that are on an even keel, and those who are not. The even keel folks have their ups and downs, but always bounce back (with or without help). The friends that stay with you for the long run have to be with you and on an even keel also. If not, trade winds pull you apart, even if it takes many years.

The only reason I care about this one is I think he has outstanding potential that was never realized.

My minor annoyance, the worlds loss....

Just my 2cents.. Perhaps you are thinking too much of the "good old days" and people who were in that era. I sometimes play 80's tracks to re-kindle my "best years" which are gone...along with most of my hair and eyesight..

I have found that it's better (for me) to concentrate on the present and future. You can't fully enjoy the present if you are always looking back.

Maybe it's meant to be that you can't find him.. Maybe you will be dissappointed if he is now a Terrorist or criminal.
Sometimes it's better to move on...

State...it's what you put into it.....I know what he means...I have one friend I thought we were school pals when I was growing up....he went into the Navy..I went into the AF....(I don't think he ever forgave me for that one )..but he just fell off the planet...never heard from him again....
I just lost my hero..mentor and photo instructor to cancer...that hurt.....he was a great guy.....
but it's life...we'll all get there the same way....
