Climb any mountain to get you back

What appears to be true: My friend Patrick, his marriage is being investigated by the Office of Immigration as a false marriage solely for the purpose for his wife to gain citizenship. A dispute between Patrick and his wife on how to proceed drew different paths. Patrick was served divorce papers this month and he became distraught with the thought of losing his house and making alimony payments.

As my personal belief, for the most part Patrick you were not a person that could share your personal challenges especially what you were feeling. In this kind of marriage situation I expect you felt you could not. You should have trusted and shared your emotions. You did not seem to know how to open up and ask for help. During this month that the divorce papers were served I injured my leg and I was not available to you as before and I believe your closest friend moved out of state only a few months ago. Though there was much love between you and your parents they were not a strong resource to you living so far away.   A sinkhole of circumstance coming together to form Tragedy.

I’ll always miss you so very much Patrick and will use this experience as a process for healing and growth. For weeks my leg injury prevented me from sleeping fogging my mind to see your subtle body communications for help. For weeks I was not there physically being the friendly distraction you were used to. Looking back I would have climbed any mountain carrying you on my back to keep you as my friend!
Six and again five years ago I shared with you how thankful I was you were my friend! And then I forgot. Not remembering how much I cared for you until you took yourself away, and that is part of the lesson. We are human, we need to actively remind each other. Thank you for reminding me.

***If you have a friend, what are the qualities you enjoy about them?  The more you share those qualities, the more those qualities surround your life.***

Thank you for 7 years of friendship, always your loving friend Gary
