Recently I've had strong thoughts regarding a friend I had a couple of years ago (or maybe just a year and a half?) We had a bit of a love/hate relationship going on, but eventually I completely dropped him as a friend because he betrayed my trust and said some things about me to someone he KNEW he shouldn't have. That was a long time ago.

Well, in the past couple of weeks I have been flirting with the idea of reconciling with him, having acknowledged that he was a very good friend of mine for a brief period of time, which is something. Yesterday I decided I  would unblock him on skype. Today I did so, but when he didn't accept my request within a few minutes (he is never too far away from his computer) I actually felt concern. I e-stalked all of his online accounts, many of which no longer exist, and eventually stumbled across a thread his girlfriend posted on a forum about coping with a boyfriend's death.

After a bit of digging I found the obituary. He died on the 17th of January. His funeral was yesterday.

Rest in peace, my friend.
