The worst thing in the world is when precious friends just fall by the wayside over issues which should have never been issues to begin with. I think most people in their older age will agree that good friends are difficult to come by later in life. Time is not something easily repeated. There are people I know things will never be the same with again, and I am sorry for all of it. It is a torment I walk with daily and my only wish is that they do not carry a torment of similar magnitude. As of recent, there are some individuals whom I cherish deeply that I have wrecked things beyond repair with. I regret they could not have met me at a different time in life when I was not such an odd fellow. If you are one of those who immediately think, "oh I would never done it differently...," you should seriously get yourself checked out because you are broken in the head.
To you, for whom I have made it strange, unpleasant, painful, awkward, or just confusing, I am sorry. You were always a lovely pleasure to me.
