Hi all,
Bear with me here,I just came home from one of my best friends weddings.I be honest i am really depressed!There used to be a good 20 of us guys, best of friends always together.This was back in 92-97.We did and went everywhere together.Times have change and we all kinda went different ways in life some for the better and well some for the worst.Jimmy is the guy who got married tonight and he made it his point to stay in touch with everyone.Me and him have always been close either way,but some times we would go months without speaking to each other,just too busy.Kids are sick,work and so on.Tonight was the first time in over 10 years the group was back together and i started to think that this is also the last time we would see each other again.All of us are married now and some with children.2 out of the orginal group is no longer here and 1 is doing life in jail without the possibitly of porole.Vinny another great kid that was part of us,went down a bad path and died of a drug over dose in 2002,craig crashed his car and died in the summer of 2000.I found this out tonight for the first time.Jamie also went down the drug road and in the summer of 1999,robbed a 7/11 in jersey after being on a drug binge and while walking out of the store was confronted by a off duty cop.He shot the cop(who lived)and in return was shot himself only to survive and get 120 years in jail with no chance of getting out.you had to know these guys,good great kids But i guess we all grew up and some take the wrong path in life.I had no idea about these events and first told tonight at the party.I could only remember these innocent kids age 14 years old,not as drug addicts or criminals.
Sitting at the party i began to think back at all the fun we did as kids and all the trouble we got into.Hanging out every night and just being kids.I started to think it is all over,Most of these guys have full time jobs and familys now.SO much has changed and we aren't kids anymore.Then it hit me,i grew up.we always promised each other we would always be together and friends,but that has changed now>jimmy is the last one single and now i sit as his wedding.Most of us have'nt spoken to one and another in over 10 years.Most likely this is the last time we will all be together again and it's over and i feel sad a little.I'm not sure how we all lost contact,but we did.Iremember back then,we would all call in sick to work and sneak to manhattan to catch a bus to great adventure,we all had "kid jobs at 15 years old.It did'nt matter if they fired us.Now i know this would never happen again we all have real jobs now and familys and mortage to pay.I just went and found this pic from the summer of 94,it was taken at great adventure and it's all of us.Things were so simple and better then.We all looked so young and innocent.
Life does fly,so enjoy it.It seems like just yesterday we went,but in fact it was over 10 years ago.Now all of us have familys and kids.I really know tonight was the last time we would all be together and its over,i most likely will never see this group of friends again And these guys were some of my best friends and knew everything about me then.We were so close and always together back then.Tonight They felt like strangers to me a little,so much has changed and so much is different.We all are a little different then we were back then and i could see all of us were different people then we were back then too.I really got a little tearie eyed a few times just talking to them and telling old storys and laughing.I know we all have changed and are different.I kinda realized we all grew up and there is now no time just to hang out anymore.I could remember all thier cell phone and beeper and home numbers back then.Now i don't even know thier home numbers,they never gave it to me.The whole group had not seen each other in over 10 years.I know that things will never be the way they used to be.That kinda makes me sad.All of us were so close,and know most of us have not spoken in over 10 years.
Some how we all grew up,Back then we used to talk about how our kids were all gonna play at the park together as we ourselves played footbal or cards.But reality is our kids have never met before tonight.weddings are supposed to be happy events,but to be honest i drove home from it crying real bad.Call me a sap if you will.I never had much time to think about these guys,but tonight i thought about how much i missed them or how much i would be willing to lose just to be albe to hang out with them again at 15 years old one more time.I remember we all used to go into james pool and james mom would cook for us and feed us.James mom died 6 years ago and i had no idea before tonight.I guess it really hit me how close i was with these friends and tonight how far we all are apart,most of thier wives i first met tonight.It really hit me tonight. we all grew up,somehow.I kinda really miss all the fun we have or how we all would be together from 9 am to night time.We all take turns eating over each others house.Tonight it hit me,I will most likely never see them again.I have'nt seen them in over 10 years.It really made me depressed.To be honest before tonight i had no idea how much i really missed them and i could see most of them felt the same way too.I guess thats one part of my life that as of tonight is offically over and its very sad too me.
