l'il bit of a shocker?

So my roommate comes in today and says he's leaving tomorrow? Am i surprised he's leaving early? not really. What's shocking is that i didn't get a month's notice. What he said was i'm leaving tomorrow so i don't know what you want to do about the rent i gave you. I told him i needed 30 days notice. Beside, his cycle starts from the 21st and he's leaving the 30th. He's already been here 10days. I'm not sure how he expects a refund.
he said part of the reason why he's leaving is because his dad is dying. What's the other reason? he didn't say but i know sometime ago he mentioned how hard it is for him being away from his wife. My heart went out to him then and i think he tried. Truth of the matter is that it really is hard. Yes, he skypes with his wife and talks on the phone with her and goes home every other weekend but i think after being married and living with someone for a long time, it must be hard just leaving them to live somewhere else, even if it's temporarily.

The other thing that just popped into my mind as i write this is whether my attitude factors into it. I've not been the type of roommate to hangout a lot with him but in handsite, i think i've spent more time with him than i have with other roommates. I barely saw David, i think i spoke to him once in the house and saw him 2x outside while he was driving in front of the house back in philly. this roommate i've actually sat down to listen to him and had dinner at my dinner table. I just couldn't stand the unsolicited advice and made me resort to just saying hello and goodbye the few times i saw him or just being in my room so i wouldn't have to be out talking. I was also studying for this exam and didn't want to be interrupted while studying to come take a look at something.

Anyway, he was a good person. I saw him as hard worker and i hope it works well for him and his family back in michigan. Hopefully, he profited from working here. I think i'll miss him but oh well, things happen.
