Feeling Alone

I have been on my own and alone for a long time now. Pretty much the last 11 years. I have always had my family and a few really good friends. This is the time in my life that I have truly felt alone.

My best friends don’t seem to be around anymore! What happened to friends always being friends and always being there for one another in hard times?

Over the last numerous years I have had friends that have come and gone out of my life. Mostly gone, at least that is what it appears to me now.

TT (Too Tall) has been thru a great deal this last year, he divorced his wife, been in a serious accident, had money issues and I think moved away. You see I don’t know what has happened to him. One Saturday he told me that he was coming over, texted messaged me at 11:30 and said he would be here at 2:00, 2:00 came and went as well as 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 and so on, I got worried and tried to contact him several times with no luck. A few days later I reached out again to see what was going on and was told that he was not explaining just that he was leaving (moving) at the end of the month. This was August. He did not want to tell me anything. I don’t get it, this guy has been one of my best friends since I was a sophomore in high school. So what is the deal??

The there is Heavy B, his mom died this year, I thought for sure that this was his moment to shine. That he was going to get responsible support himself and really become a man. At 33 he was still living at home with mom and she was paying all the bills. I was wrong, though I do believe that he is supporting himself he is also burning thru his inheritance quicker than it can gain interest in the bank. Now that he has moved a good 45 min away, well I don’t see him anymore either.

I am beginning one of the biggest battles of my life. I am taking on the school system to get my child some help with her reading. I sure could use TT around to bounce things off of since well he has knowledge of how this stuff works and well he levels my head.
Don’t get me wrong I have friends but none that know me as much as TT and HB do…
