missing person

the other day i sent out an email to an address i am hoping is who i think it is... i'm looking to recontact a long lost friend. i've heard he doesn't want to have any contact with church people, but i don't care. he's my friend gosh darn it, whether he's in the church life or not. i wish he wouldn't excommunicate himself from people that consider him a friend... maybe he doesn't feel the same way? maybe he just wants to be left alone... i don't want to bug him, i just want to be his friend. perhaps he has enough friends and could care less that i still consider him a friend. it's been almost a week now since i sent out that email... i'm sure he's avoiding me. because even it isn't him, i asked the person to be kind enough to respond and let me know. it must be his addy, else i would have heard from him by now. besides it was a cellular addy, u know, an @verizon.com email addy... well, dude, if ur out there and u happen to come across this blog by some miracle... please respond. i won't sell u out... i'd just like to see u again.
