I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place for this, but I'm sure someone has had this experience.

IT IS JUST TOO DARN WEIRD TO BE TALKING W/ MY EXBOYFRIEND FROM 40 YEARS AGO!!!!! I was 16, he was my "first", when I got pregnant he denied it was his.

I found him and contacted him because our birthson was starting to get curious. I sent him a message on "classmates.com". Within hours he responded--I GUESS HE DID REMEMBER ME!!! I left my number, he called me, at 8:00AM (I don't get up until at least 11) I answered the phone with a mumble, and after I realize that it's really him on the phone and I'm not in the middle of a very bad dream, I find myself saying, "DO YOU REMEMBER ME AND IF YOU DO, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY I"M CONTACTING YOU". All this before ONE SINGLE SIP OF COFFEE. Too WEIRD, just too WEIRD!!!

Almost 3 months later, I find this stranger from the past, a warm and very caring man. Yes, I'd even call him my friend. He has developed a wonderful relationship with "my" birthson. He has made a sincere amends for his behavior when we were "just stupid kids" almost 40 years ago. I believe him when he says that he never forgot and always wondered whether our birthson was happy and how and where he was.

I will close with this....SOME OF US AGE BETTER THAN OTHERS!!!

Dear L-Cain,

I am glad for you that things have worked out with your son's birthfather. After all that time to have that kind of healing? Wow! Kudos to you for your compassion and courage. :-)

I also wanted to say that I noticed from your signatory that you lost a child in 1995. My deepest sympathies and regards to you L-Cain. I cannot imagine a more deafening loss than the loss of a child.

Wishing you peace in the New Year,
