Back in 2022, I was helping out at a watch store, cataloguing watch parts. It was March and the boss was out of town on a business trip.
I decided to give my friend from college a call to help with the monotony since I had seen her recently at my other job, which was quite a surprise after not hearing from her for over twenty years. She came in with her daughter who I had never met until that day. We exchanged numbers and said we’d chat sometime.
When I called from the watch store, we caught up, and it was so great to hear from a friend from community college. She was doing very well, owned her own house outright as well as several others that she rented. She was still dating the same guy, and they still had a very difficult relationship, which I had told her over and over to leave, way back in 1998.
I told her again to leave him, and that she had a great family that would support her no matter what. She said she’d try, but it was so hard and I couldn’t understand.
I never chatted again with her after that one afternoon phone call in 2022.
This afternoon, I decided to look her up with a burner account on fb since I had switched phones several times over the last few years and no longer had her number.
My plan was to introduce her to Nostr, and help get her interested in selling her pottery on Plebeian Market.
I’m sure she knew about Bitcoin already, being as ahead of the curve financially as she was at the age of 19, but I was prepped to introduce her to it.
I had a whole laundry list of great stuff to tell her about when I saw the posting about her murder.
In December of 2022, her boyfriend came into her office with a gun, shot her, then shot himself. There was a GoFundMe page to raise money for her funeral expenses.
Life turns on a dime. Look up an old friend. Don’t wait for something else to happen.
