Thanks.
It wasn't my "last" $400; it was earmarked for the Phoenix trip, so, thankfully it wasn't crucial to my family's survival. But that doesn't mean it isn't missed, or that it shouldn't be repaid, no matter what it was for.
He said that his bank was holding a large check for longer then he anticipated, and it put him in a pinch. Having just gone through a similar situation with the insurance check my mom received after my Dad's death in December, I was sympathetic, and I had that cash set aside, so I loaned it to him to get him through until the funds from the check were released. We live just a few miles apart and have gotten together several times for drinks or lunch/dinner, and I considered him a friend. Apparently, I was mistaken.
