This is a picture of my friends in college. We formed an organization called BOSS (Brothers Of Soul Society) More on this at a later date.
See the guy in the front with the green jacket that is “ARK”. That was our nickname for him, his name was Armond Renee Kane "ARK" for short. Ark passed away this weekend 8/9/08. We were all the same age and his passing has left me feeling down all week.
Ark was the type of guy that was always positive, we spent many nights all of us talking about various things. The one night that stands out in my mind we were arguing about something and it had to do with “doing what we said we would do”. He was very big on that. Anyway he made this statement “You have to take time to make time” of course we all just laughed and dismissed his statement but ultimately we understood what he meant. He was trying to get me or one of us to stop missing appointments and giving the lame excuse that we didn’t have time! Ark was a good guy and I will miss him. Although we were out of touch for about 20 years or so we hooked up with a phone call about a year ago and spent at least an hour on the phone playing catch-up. Since that time we were exchanging emails daily. It is very hard to accept the fact that my friend, our friend is no longer with us………………….
Rest in peace Ark, we will miss you
Sorry to hear about your friend, Gua. Some of us simply have to go too early ...
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes, the "good die young"
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about this, Gua. Really shakes you when the person who dies is so near your own age. You get shaken further when you realize that, as is human tendency, you let time get away. I try not to do that anymore myself.
