I'm not ignorning anything being said here at all. But I wanted to share another email he just sent me.
I will make a deposit to your bank before it closes today.
It doesn't look as thought I'm going to make it in time to get D tonight, but I will be there Saturday if that is still ok.
I'm going to talk with my boss later today to see what they really expect out of me as far as time spent here and to also let him know that I am going to be starting school and that I can not mess that up because if I don't get good grades then I will have to pay for it myself and that is something that I will not be able to do. I really think I have been putting a lot more time in this place because I have been trying to make a good impression and at the same time babying people (my sups.) way to much and need for them to start taking more ownership of what is going on.
I will give a call tonight to apologize to D about today and to also talk to you about this stuff, I really do want your input.
Thanks again for being such a good person to me and to D during all this crap. I truly do apologize to you also!
That email gives you an open path to becoming something to him that no other person can be, and that can never be taken from you.
Be his friend, Dar.
Be worthy of the trust he is placing in you by sharing these feelings he is having. Don't ever give him cause to regret it. That man is depressed. UPLIFT him. He will never forget it. It doesn't mean you have all the answers, or even ANY of them. But it means you listen, and you love, no matter what.
This is a time to listen to what I'm saying to you. It may be all you end up with but believe me, Dar, the importance of these acts - when done from the heart - the good that comes from them - may never be revealed in this life but I believe they store up treasures in the only place that really matters anyway; heaven.
