Reconnecting with My High School Love

My high school love (DJ) and I became reacquainted after my last blog (perhaps that is why I haven't returned???)...and my life has literally changed.

No intentions, other than to reach out, like I always do to those that touch my heart either on a friendly or an even-friendlier basis. All I did was email him after I located an email address one day.

Hey DJ! I just thought I'd send you a little note. I hope all is well with you and your darling family! Perhaps we can catch up in cyberspace sometime. :-)

He immediately emailed back.

Wow! :-)

I am so glad you found me, I have thought about you and how you are doing for years now. I have so much to talk to you about. You are a very special person and I do miss you.

My life has been full of high's and low's, but I am still the same old crazy fun guy. Just with a beer belly, lol. The same as I looked 10 years ago.

Are you married still? Do you have any Kids? How is your health? Do you still have a smile that lights up any room? Soooooooo many questions. Can I call you? Do you want to call me? Is it ok for us to do that? See full of questions. I wish that I can give you a big hug..............life is too short to not express one's true thought. Don't you think?

Ok, I will settle down, my cheerful expression is drawing attention to me at work here. Hehehehe.

I would love to keep in touch with you!

Can't wait to here from you. Should this be descrete?

Hope you are well!


I was completely blown away with his initial reaction to my email, his initial response. I didn't expect such excitement, so I became quite intrigued and excited myself, the same familiar feeling that I used to have for him 20 years ago.

At first we talked about all the niceties and about all the things on which we wanted to catch up.

And then I felt that it was time to answer that question, "Should this be discreet?"

I'll answer that question in my next blog.

Until then, live, laugh, and most importantly, love.
