I'm such a lousy friend

Today, I realized I'm such a lousy friend....




This morning I got 3 text messages. It came from my brods. Aljo is in the hospital; he's been confined there for the past few days. Damn, I didn't know.

We visited him in the hospital. I was glad to see he was ok. Havent seen him the entire summer. But somehow, visiting him there didn't make up for the fact that I was one of the last to know that he was confined in the hospital. Damn.

Then at around 5 pm, I got to chat with my old high school classmate, Norbert. He's also a close friend. It's been ages since I last heard from him. He told me he just went through an operation two weeks ago. Hernia, he said. Damn, I didn't know...again.

I'm such a lousy friend.

They say that you discover who your true friends are at your darkest moments. If that's true, then what does that say about me.

God, I pray for my two friends. I might not always be there for them, but I know that you are. May they find comfort in your presence.
