On Friday, Chris got news his estranged father had died, which is why I saw him that day, and which is why when he told me, he broke down and cried like his heart was breaking.

Today is his father's viewing, tomorrow is the funeral, and when I said I'd call to see how he was, Chris said he'd appreciate it. Three phone calls later and still no answer.

He's probably offed himself.

I'm worried that I might not be kidding.
