Some of you may recall that I’ve mentioned over the years I’ve been here that I was engaged to a guy from Texas back from around 1992-1997. The most amazing human being on the planet. It was a long distance relationship, before either of us had internet, and as much as we wanted it to work, it didn’t. The distance was too much ( I live in the Toronto area).
We married other people but kept in touch by phone a few times a year and talked about our kids and families. Our kids were all the same age. He had four and I had four more, all within a few months of each other
In 2015 my job took me to another city and I lost his number and I had a new work number and we lost contact. I never felt comfortable contacting him through social media and I think he felt the same. That being said, I haven’t spoken to him in well over a decade although I do check out his social media profiles once in a while and found out he had a stroke in 2022.
I took yesterday off work and this morning I came into the office and have a voicemail message from him. He said it’s a ghost from the past and after listening to the message twice, I know it’s him. He wants me to call him.
Would he have been able to tell I looked at his Facebook:instagram pages a few times?
I’m going to call him. I just need to wait to let this all sink in. So much time has passed I’m worried he’s going to tell me he’s dying. I’ve had two friends here in my area and two family members die in the past three years.
awww maybe it's not such dire news tho? i'm sure just having a health scare made him reevaluate his life and priorities and to know his mortality so he's saying hi before he loses his chance .. anyway hope you have a nice conversation again ☺
1) Are you still married? 2) Do you harbor ANY romantic feelings for the ghost?
If both are "yes" then I would just leave everything as it is. Don't complicate your live. If either question is a no, then sure reach out and see how your old friend is doing. :)
