Well that fucking sucks
One of my good friends in California died from an overdose this weekend. It is a serious shock and a pure accident. He had enough experience with opiates to know how to handle himself and the mental side. I am pretty sure he was given fent instead of a normal lower potency.
It's totally fucked.
I remember him from elementary school. He was 2 grades behind me and I remember my opinion of him was not very good. We went to different high schools but once I returned home from the service we got to be really good friends. We learned to blow glass together, grow grass, hiked and fished many times. We had a strong understanding of each other.
We worked really well together and would be able to anticipate what the other would need and have it to them right when they needed it. Like a tool for tightening pipe when setting a well pump.
My moving north pretty much broke our friendship. He was not one to leave the state and we just moved out of state, so I came to the realization at some point that it was over. My attempts to converse on fb with him in chats generally went nowhere.
I am sad but I am not as sad as I would have thought. It is probably time, distance, and connection. None the less I miss him, have missed him, and will continue to miss him only now I have no chance of seeing him in person again.
This shit fucking sucks.
Death is guaranteed in life but the early adopters are fucking annoying when they pull this shit.
Well, I have work on the deck to do in hopes of occupying my mind with a focus so I am not focused on loss.

Life is made of a continuous stream of decisions and he made a few bad ones, this one being his most permanent. It sucks and I am sad but death is the only certain thing in life so I try to remain more pragmatic. I feel bad for his family the most, his mom. He was the youngest of all her kids and he went first. But, choices, that's a part of being human.
The deck is actually plugging along a bit. pier blocks are about seated so the nthe building will commence. Gotta harvest them beans as well!
Sorry to here. Went to a funeral myself today. His was cancer. Friiggen been a lot of death in my life this year. Just makes me strive to enjoy the minutes I have.

There seems to be a lot of death in many people's lives recently, at least a bunch I know. It is also something our society/world is pretty poor at, the whole death thing. Cultures have held death with more certainty and less direct fear, they talked about it, made it a part of life since it is a very final part of life.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you. It sucks but does explain some of his actions the past year or so.
