musings of a neurotic mind

when you are in contact with certain people via IM daily so that they become part of your life and suddenly one day they are not online and have not told you beforehand that… it’s strange. i have a very good friend who lives a few hundred kilometers away and we IM daily. it’s a part of my routine, getting up, getting online, saying “morgaehn” to him and starting my “workday”. he is always there for me, especially when i am writing i can ask him questions about the new german spelling and stuff. apart from that he’s a real pillar of support. it happened in the past that he was offline for a week (vacation) or for a few days (hardware failure) but either he told me beforehand or phoned me telling his computer won’t boot up. so what i want to say: if he is offline without an explanation something bad has happened.
i knew he would be offline this friday because he had some work to do at university. no need to worry, he’ll be online in the evening. well, when i went offline yesterday (around 10 pm) he hasn’t shown up. maybe he missed a bus or the train was late. however, since he didn’t turn up by afternoon today i knew something was wrong. i was right. i gave him a call and his grandma told me that he had a seizure yesterday and is now in hospital! OMG! now that’s bad news indeed. i hope he’ll get well soon because the summer semester at university has just started…
