So about a year ago a friend of mine and my first boyfriend IMed me to tell me that the ex had cancer.  Maybe he told me because he was my ex, maybe he told me because he knew of my own experience, whatever the reason he sure as hell didn’t tell me what kind of cancer he had, and how he was doing.  

I’ve thought alot aobut this guy, nothing in terms of romance, any dates we ever went on  hinged on the availability of our moms to drive us to the mall that friday evening.  I guess its because I don’t actually know anyone locally that has been through a similar situation, and I guess I find it some what fascinating that the two of us were both handed down prize.

I know the his gf/ or his ex or whatever she is, is on myspace.  Can I message her and ask her how he’s doing? I mean I know the girl so it wouldnt be completely out of left field, but we were friends back when boys were still groooooooossss.

On the other hand I remember randoms that I never told, asking me how I was because they heard it through the grapevine and I was PISSED.  What if Im crossing some sort of line?

I just dont know. I’d just like to know he’s ok.  What do you think?
