Hi Verne, I understand what you’re going through.
I recently made contact with someone I hadn’t seen for about 30 years. She was a person I had been very close to in a difficult time of my life, when I was going through psychiatrists, meds, ECT and more, and she was the only one who seemed to have any understanding of where I was at. She now heads a psychological service organization in another city. I managed to get her number and battled with myself for over a month before finding the courage to call.
When I finally got hold of her, and told her my name, she laughed for a long time - sweet, kind, happy laughter. She was really pleased to hear from me. She will be spending Christmas in my home town, and we will be seeing each other. Her last words were: “I’m so looking forward to this.”
I suggest you send that email. I’m sure she has thought about you over the years since you last met. And if you have put on weight, the chances are that she has too, or has warts or something equally unromantic. We all age. Don’t let it worry you too much.
I’ll let you know how my meeting goes next month.
