I met my friend 7 years ago. We would see each other once a week for a hour. He was my mentor and counselor. Once I left for college we would switch from face to face to over the phone which was during the middle of Covid. We had grown to be very close friends during that time where he was the only one I talked to about my troubles and what I was going through on that week which was every Monday evening. The last time I talked to him it was last Monday and I was in a state of mind where there wasn’t anything exciting to look forward to. I didn’t realize that was the last time I would get to talk to him. Wish I had some good news to give to him about my undiagnosed neck injury that happened last year in 2021. I got the news today that he unexpectedly died on Sunday night and we had planned to talk on Monday.
