I didn't make the effort to reconnect with my high school boyfriend. We were both married and raising kids, it seemed awkward. So I didn't do it.
Two years ago I got a copy of his obituary in the mail and was overcome with longing, wishing I'd seen him one more time, talked about how life worked out for us. He was smart and funny and had a good heart. Is it possible to have too many such friends in our lives, even if only on the margins?

Awe, that's terribly sad. The thing is we were great friends before the brief dating. The dating ruined our friendship and I probably would have never taken that step if I would have known the mess that was to follow. He is a good person, we were both just young and fumbling through trying to figure out how these things work. It happens.
College was the first time in my life I felt like I could be myself and had TRUE friends. It'd be nice to reconnect with someone from that time. I'm not looking to be best friends or even see each other on the regular, but a coffee and a chat would be nice.
Thank you so much for your response.

True. But what if he is telling himself the same thing about me?
