So Saturday night in Austin I made my "see Austin friends night". I called everyone I knew and told them the bars I would be going to and told them to come out because it was my last night in town. I saw probably about 10 friends I haven't seen in a couple years. One of whom was David aka Ducky. He is a friend I met through my ex and we have kept in touch since he moved to Austin from Ft. Worth a few years back. David is a funny and caring friend. He is always there for you when you need a laugh or if he could help you in any way he would. We drank beers, talked about Ft. Worth, and laughed about the past and the wacky town of Austin. He had to leave around 1:00 even though it was daylight savings time and we had an extra hour to drink. I gave him a hug and said bye and I would see him in a few months.
I woke up today and went to work. Around 11 o'clock I received a message from a friend, David was involved in a hit and run accident last night. He was hit by a blue truck while crossing the street and then the truck took off, leaving him bleeding and dying in the street. However, someone saw and called the police and he was rushed to the hospital. He has a very serious head injury and since noon he has gone into cardiac arrest 4 times. His mother is facing some serious decisions as the doctors are not giving anyone much hope.
David is a soldier and a punk rocker, He is a greast friend. A person always willing to help another individual. He is so funny and always up for a prank, yet he cares about people deeply. He was shot while in the army and recovered from that. I can only hope that he can manage to do the same right now.
So will everyone please do me a favor?
Right now just call one of your friends that you don't see often, tell them you appreciate their friendship. Tell them a joke. Tell them you love them.
You never know.
