I too was expecting an ever worse ending, like he paid you a visit recently, or even worse. I think that people are put in our lives for reasons.... and I am sure that there is a lesson to be learnt from him and I also find it refreshing that you still can recall the happy times. I think that I would have tried to block him out of my mind if it was me.<BR/>xox NicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30257407.post-14476248779069176272007-03-08T19:00:00.000+10:002007-03-08T19:00:00.000+10:00Hi Robyn ~~ Thanks for your visits and no I don't ...Hi Robyn ~~ Thanks for your visits and no I don't plan to run a marathon for a while.

Genuine and loving. Her son, Mike, is a year older than my elder son and they were best frineds for many years, gradually drifting apart when they went to different schools and formed different relationships. When he was 22. Michael killed a man. He was imprisoned for manslaugher. When he came out he got in with bad friends and was soon on hard drugs. His own sister had to call out the police to arrest him when he was threatening her. <BR/><BR/>As a boy Michael was foolish but never evil. He was fantastic with animals, but not very bright.<BR/><BR/>How these things happen in families that are loving and caring is a mystery. I believe there was a girl involved in Michael's story; you say the policeman was a gambler. It's so easy to fall. There but for the grace of God goes each one of us I believe.Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30257407.post-83841862998186926862007-03-07T05:35:00.000+10:002007-03-07T05:35:00.000+10:00so true...I just hate it when I admire someone and...so true...I just hate it when I admire someone and they turn out to be a fink!<BR/>:-(TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343953446581027685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30257407.post-80208776141162156932007-03-07T02:57:00.000+10:002007-03-07T02:57:00.000+10:00One never knows how lives will turn out, Robyn...i...One never knows how lives will turn out, Robyn...it's sad for the wife and mother, and the other siblings.

I only remember one very awful story, when a neighbor's boy whom I knew very well and who had always played with our son, died at 21 by an overdose, hanging over a garbadge can. I can tell you, nobody here could understand that, especially because the parents had done so much to get him out of drugs.Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30257407.post-85925099070641705852007-03-06T23:29:00.000+10:002007-03-06T23:29:00.000+10:00That is an awful story.
