Remembering "Bob"

Well. Things were going great. I was planning on Writing a sort of retrospective of all of 2016's things I loved. Had a catchy title. Talk a little bit about Christmas maybe. Well maybe I'll get to that post, but not today. To tell you the truth I'm only writing this post so I don't go to bed and sleep a few days away like I did two weeks ago.  Can't do that again. I don't know what to say. Or how to say it. Three or Four years ago I went back to Roger's (Mental Health Facility) for a second time in my life, but this time staying in the Adult part of the area. Although I couldn't really say I became best friends with any of the people I met during that stay, they did each leave a mark on me, one that I will never Forget until I die. One of the men I met while I was there was... let's call him Bob. Everytime we were all in one of our "classes" we had to go to everyday, he would always make wisecracks about things, trying to make light of our situations, our situations being the lowest spot in our life for the most of us. His humor went a long way with us. He never complained about any of his issues or made excuses for any of them. I also remember his regret. His mind weighed heavy on the tole his alcohalism and blackouts and one or two relapses had on his parents. That was a lot of what he talked about, how he could change for his family. Like I said I don't remember a whole lot of my time with Bob, but for a very short time in my life, Bob and I were brothers, and I'll never forget that. And I'll never forget him.

Rest in Peace Bob. I love you.
