Always check in with your friends

When I first started working at Walmart as a customer host out in the garden center another co worker would be out there too, we started talkin and eventually became friends, he would always make sure I had breaks and a lunch break, overtime he got asked to move over to the other entrance so we couldn’t really talk as much but he would still sneak his way back over to the garden center to make sure I was ok and still made sure I got my breaks and lunch, one day he had told me about a previous job he had and that he was thinking about going back, naturally in my head I’m like WHAT !!! Lol yeah whatever, while at the same time I’m like I hope not, we continue being friends and talked all the time for weeks maybe more, than one day he says: hey man so my other job called me and I got the green light to go back, I mean of course I told him that’s awesome and congrats but honestly it sucked big time because everyone else just ignored me and just pretended I wasn’t there, I realized it was happening again just like when I was in school, people I bonded with always leaving, but it was what it was and I told myself I needed to except it and move on, so that was that, he left and I continued being the no leg Walmart wheelchair dude, months went by, started to kinda think to myself, man I wonder how he’s doing these days, well yesterday evening he FaceTimed me to check in and see how I was doing, we talked for couple hours I think, but man I just thought it was really nice and cool that he did that, he always had my back and I will forever be grateful, always check in with your friends no matter how long it’s been or where else life might take you.
