The memory of him haunted me for years because he was the road not taken and my life would have been completely different than the one I live now had I stayed with him--different not necessarily better. He was the only person besides my husband I ever wanted to make a life with but we were a bit too young and we still had goals to accomplish. About a year ago he contacted me and we wrote regularly and with a lot of emotion for a while--it was very cathartic--that has now dwindled to sporadically but it's still nice. It put an end to my wondering. I now know we were compatible because we followed similar paths. He's married and so am I. If we were both single again I would like to see him. He is often in my thoughts.
My MIL is now 87 and has been married for 65 years. There is an old boyfriend that never forgot her and continued to occasionally send her flowers and notes up until his recent death. You never know how you will mark someone's life.
