| Ball, now grown up, with the kids |
I haven't been to see them at their new place as I can't be bothered travelling, even a short distance.
I no longer drink, so the bond on which our friendship was forged has weakened. I still see him occasionally if I am passing his mother's place and he has dropped in for a visit; I stop for a quick chat. However, months go past without contact.

When we meet, he is inevitably distracted looking after his kids or talking about the minutiae of life as a messenger for a business in town.
Once, I would have taken an interest, but now he is grown into a young adult I no longer feel the need to get involved.
His mother is out of jail and still rattles about the slum, though all but one of her children have now moved out. Idle taxi driver Lord is still there, though I seldom see him in the slum - perhaps he has finally motivated himself to go and out and work.
