time and again

i met up with my old friend, roland last night. we hadn't sat and talked in a while. he left his job at dell corp a little over a year ago to start an insulation company. he's in that second year where the money runs out, but the business hasn't really taken off to the point where it can support him and he's struggling with the burden. he also found out a few months ago that a woman he dated for 3 weeks, about 3 years ago, has his twin daughters. they are two.

roland is one of the best friends i've ever had. he always hits on me a little when i see him, but he has been there for me time and again. many years ago, when i had no money and i lost my job, he gave me and my young children a place to stay for 2 months. during that time, he made coffee for me every morning, but never made a single pass at me. not even a hint.

i don't know how to help him right now, but i wish i could.
