Dead Friends
The other day we went to go pick up Mike's co worker to go hang out. Suddenly it struck me that the last time I had been in that apartment complex was to pick up my friend Travis, who has since passed.
Travis death came as a shock and suddenly. It was one of the reasons I quit McD's in Davison. Everyday I worked was a constant reminder of how Travis wasnt there and the stupid circumstances under which he died. He was out with some people who obviously didnt care about him. He had alcohol poisoning and the ppl with him freaked and never called the cops or the hospital (even though they had admitted to watching him puke and sieze for over an hour) because they were too afraid to get in trouble fr underage drinking (they were 19 and 20, Travis was 21). Oddly enough the same day I had picked up Mike's friend a co worker of ours posted on FB his obit. Seems I am not the only one who still thinks of him. Despite how his death may make him look he was actually one of the sweetest kids I had ever met. Very much full of dreams and heading in the right direction to achieve them. He came out to coffee for my birthday last year when he had only known me a month. We use to fight over who wascobra commander of the coffee when working mornings together. The day of his funeral I took a vacation for several days to my Nana's. No one was there as they were on vacation themselves, so I watched the house and got some time alone.
I have lost so many friends in the past. Mostly to drugs and alcohol.
