Who do you wish you could get back into contact with? (posted to SF and 50s)

I would like to be reunited with my teenage years fishing buddy who tragically drowned at age 15.
Alive, another friend from Tasmania. We lost contact in about 1990. Have tried to find him with no success.

There's one lady, she thinks I'm a bad guy because of the time in our lives we met. I hate knowing that I treated her badly and I'd love to be able to spend time with her and show her that I'm remorseful and that I see the world and her very differently now; but because of the way I was when she knew me, whenever we briefly get back in touch all she can think is that I'm trying to manipulate her.

@CheshireCatalyst Understandable. From both perspectives.

@Gusman it is indeed. I've stopped trying to contact her now, I have to accept that I'm not entitled to her forgiveness, her understanding, or her company.

@CheshireCatalyst My first thought was that maybe it is time yo let go.
