So odd, and alarming. I had an hour to kill before sleep. It's long past that now, and I should get up in a few hours.I thought to look up some friends I hadn't heard from for a long time. Most times when I have an hour, I wander through cold cases rather than search for living people.
This time I went looking for my old roommate from when I lived in Texas after my divorce. I was going to visit him close to 2 years ago thinking I could skip up to Kentucky after a day to see my Aunt and over to DC to a drum dance event at the Capitol. He thought my excursion plans were silly. We talked daily for awhile. He had a new girlfriend. She was there once when we were chatting. He seemed happy.
I didn't go. We had not spoken after that.
So I googled him tonight, put in his name and State. Maybe he had a blog.
Instead I found news. There was a person with his name charged just a few days ago with a very serious crime that occurred in 2007, and looking further I found his photo associated with it! His girlfriend died. That girl back then.
I'm sure he would not have hurt her. I remember that he is very kind to people. He saved his pet cat from a severe infection even though she annoyed him, as well did I. He also paid special attention to people with a hard life and checked up on them, like the landlady after he moved out, and people that others might reject for their problems. He had a great friend in a lady I remember as Ronnie. He grieved her so when she died. I just remember that she had a house on a canal and a parrot that went with her on her shoulder everywhere. They always irked me because they all thought I was strange and insecure. I sang alot in my apartment, and played the piano keyboard all day when not at work. Is that strange? But I always respected how much he cared about them, and he's always been my friend.
I don't know what to think.
I feel very badly for him. He got away and worked so hard to better his life and made it. I fear he will lose it all.
I don't know if he deserves to, or what happened.
It just makes me afraid.
