Its amazing how slow things can be and then without warning you want Time to stop or go back. I miss all those Rainy days where I didn't do much of anything other than watching tv and just lazing around in all of life's splendor.
I have been really busy since getting back to Missoula. I am trying to work on some personal projects and just get readjusted. I would like to catch up with everyone.
Every time I drove through Polson I had a thought of stopping and dialing up my old roommate Fritz just to see how he was doing. Fritz wasn't a typical roommate. While he did things his own way much like most people I knew, he did confide in me and was dedicated to his God, family, friends and trying to find a way. There are many things I will remember about him. I will never get another chance to tell him anything about how I feel about him though.
I went to say my goodbyes yesterday. I had never been to a funeral especially one that wasn't meant to be. He was a big part of my life.
I was his first roommate. We shared many college laughs, stories, and we also ran together and against each though he always got the better end of me.
He kept me on the straight and narrow. I didn't drink with him. I never cussed, I was a better man because of him. I was healthier. I was happier and I wish I had known so much more than I had known before.
One phone call is all that it would have taken. I was his closest connection in college. I am wishing I had done something about it more.

I went to the funeral with his ex girlfriend and some old track guys. I cried like a baby. I don't ever want to go to another funeral.
Now I am just trying to think and be better cause I want to be better for the love of my life. We got something going well and our love is like Fusion its all around...
May the Gods bless Fritz for me and keep us on the path towards a happy and loving life together.
