Of course. Why did you learn Arabic? Do you still remember much? My best friend died 5 years ago from alcohol poisoning (he was very much an alcoholic). Talk about attracting crazy people...we actually met at a cognitive behavioral therapy residential clinic when we were 22. I was there for depression, he was there for alcoholism. That place was a blast though, I made so many good friends at the nut house and have nothing but fond memories. He was always drinking when I hung out with him yet he was brilliant and able to function very well. I loved him very much as the brother I never had. Other than friends from the Masjid, who sometimes seem just so much more normal than me, I've had a hard time making new friends where I'm at. So, thanks! If you were my neighbor we certainly would show up to your cookout =) I hope you have a great New Years, BTW!

I studied it in college and in the army. I can read and understand more than I can speak. I’m very sorry about your friend. I guess it comes with the territory at our age (don’t know how old you are but I know a lot of people leave us starting around a certain time frame). I’ve lost family members and didn’t grieve—no love lost. But I can’t imagine losing a friend. In my faith, we say, “Memory eternal.” I’m glad you remembered him today and told me about him. Now, I can pray for him too. God willing, you’ll see each other again. Happy New Years to you and yours. Many blessings in 2026!
