Is there someone from your past that you wish

[fluffernutter]

you would have stayed in contact with?

who is it and why?

[redqueen]

1. Yes

Too many to name, because they're nice.

[Left Is Write]

2. Yes. Her name is Dawn.

We were good friends. I introduced her to her husband and stood up in her wedding (sadly, he turned out to be a terrible spouse and they later divorced). She was one of the nicest, sweetest, kindest people I ever knew, and we lost touch when I was living in Wisconsin and she had moved in with her parents temporarily after her divorce.

I'd love to find her now, but it's been almost twelve years. I wouldn't know where to look or if she remarried.

[Longgrain]

3. Yes...

Audrey...:cry:

[fluffernutter]

9. i know.

:hug: we all have our Audrey's.

[Longgrain]

16. Thank you sooooo much...

:hug:

I was actually going to say something else, but as soon as I saw your post, "Whiter Shade of Pale" came on the radio. That song always made me sad. It was my mother and father's wedding song, (weird I know) and serious tears began forming around my eyes...

I forgot all about what I was originally going to say and threw up the first name that popped into my head...

[fluffernutter]

29. Whiter Shade of Pale? i love it,

how unique. maybe it was their song. that song always gets to me too, but i'm not sure why...

[Longgrain]

31. I guess it was just one of the quirks of

getting married in the late sixties...:shrug:

I don't know what the song meant for my parents...but for me, it's just one of those songs that instantly freezes me, I can't do anything while it's on...it's just weird...

[fluffernutter]

40. we skipped the light fandango

turned cartwheels 'cross the floor...

i think it's sweet, you obviously have a connection with your parents in that song.

[bigwillq]

4. Of course

many people for various reasons.

[hippiechick]

5. I have had the great good fortune

... to have found most of my 'long lost'-ers over the past couple years, one of them right here on DU !

Not that I've wanted to 'stay in touch' with all of them, but just to find out where life has taken them and how they're doing, and in some cases - closure, if that makes sense.



:hippie:

[bigwillq]

8. Are you serious? Here on DU!

That's crzy. Please share if you want.

[fluffernutter]

11. wow, that is really cool!

about the ones you found, and yes, ikwym about closure.

[bigwillq]

18. Thanks, Lisa!

:hi:

[hippiechick]

27. You're very welcome, Will !

:hug:



:hippie:

[AlCzervik]

6. yes, my first real boss

he was a great guy that gave me a chance to prove myself and helped me with my career.

[fluffernutter]

7. yes - we moved a lot when i was growing up.

but i still remember lots of people who affected my life and i wish i would have kept in touch with them.

oh, and the first guy i french kissed. i wonder what he is doing now...

[GOPisEvil]

12. He's waiting for you to call!!! *sob*

:cry:

Hehe...I'm like you - moved around a lot when I was a kid. I wonder what some of the people who went through my life are up to.

[fluffernutter]

14. lol! he was awesome and taught me everything i needed to know

about kissing *sigh*

well, no wonder we seem to have stuff in common, i always find myself agreeing with your posts ;) hmm, were you one of those people who went through my life?

[GOPisEvil]

15. Hmmm...possibly...interesting.

I lived in the following places:

Athens, Greece
Fulda, (West at the time) Germany
Blytheville AFB, Arkansas
O'Fallon, IL
Chanute AFB, IL
Hickam AFB, HI
Universal City, TX
San Antonio, TX
Austin, TX

:-)

[fluffernutter]

23. Greece?!

i have always wanted to go there, do you remember it?

alas, i have never lived in those places ... i lived in MN, CO, MA, NM and WA.

[GOPisEvil]

25. I left on my 2nd birthday.

I dont remember it at all, although there are some cool pictures of me in various Greek locales. I've wanted to go back for a long time.

Oh well...so we were never two ships that passed in the night. Although I like to think my french kisses are the kind that women remember. :silly:

[fluffernutter]

32. i bet they are!

:*

[GOPisEvil]

33. Aw, thanks.

:*

[Aristus]

10. Sharon. For that beautiful night we spent together in Louisville

before I left the Army. Beautiful, beautiful Sharon with her poor sprained leg in a cast. I think of her to this day.......

[fluffernutter]

13. how sweet!

memories...

and :hi: hi again, aren't you the guy who lives in Puyallup near that awesome pub it's been a long time since i've seen you around these parts :)

[Aristus]

35. Hi fluff, good to see you. Yeah, I've been around. I guess we

just haven't run into each other. :hi:

For a minute, when I saw that my post had a reply, I thought it would be Sharon! :-) I wasn't disappointed that it was you, though. B-)

[fluffernutter]

37. i bet your heart skipped a beat.

i know mine would!

i just reread my post to you above and omg, have you ever seen a better run-on sentence? yeesh. i really can punctuate ;)

[Aristus]

39. You want run-on sentences, you should read the sermons of

Cotton Mather. That boy could go on and on and on and.......

On second thought, don't read them; he was a kook. :crazy:

[Gothic Sponge]

17. Yes, the girl i let get away.

:(

[fluffernutter]

26. that was too cool! did you do it?

[slutticus]

19. Yes. Her name was Eve.

I wanted to marry her.

I let her get away.


:cry:

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. Yeah, Sara. She was best friend when I was 10

and then we moved because my dad died, and we emailed and talked on the phone some, she even came to visit me for a week once, but then we just lost touch. I would like to at least see what shes up to now. If I had her email I would send one, but I lost it. :(

[Longgrain]

22. Sniff, I know

A friend of my, Suzanne, recently moved away...luckily we're still in touch, and still see each other, and exchange E-mails. It's just we used to get together several times a week...I was so used to seeing her all the time, and now she's gone...

These days we're lucky if we see each other once every two months...

She was my best friend and muse over the last three years and I miss her company dearly...;(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. Yes, my friend Kathy Lucas who moved to Ohio

and I totally lost contact with. We were good friends when I was single...we'd go out dancing and check out jazz clubs in DC.

If you're here, Kathy, send me a private message. I'm a violinist...That should give you a pretty good clue as to who I am. :hi:

[bearfan454]

24. My old Navy buddies.

I lost contact with them about 20 + years ago.

[The empressof all]

28. Diane from E 82nd St NYC

I moved to the West Coast and when I called one day, her phone was disconnected. She was ill. I never knew what happened to her. She was an amazing character who made me laugh.

[Amaya]

30. Yes

His name was Eli. My first love and my best friend for years afterward. We lost contact after I moved out of California. Goddamn, that boy rocked my world.

[RetroLounge]

34. Most if not all of my ex'es were Liberals

So I might run into one here someday.

But hopefully not, because I assume none of them would want to stay in touch with me. At least the me they knew way back when.

Luckily I've changed...

[Doc_Technical]

36. My first girlfriend.

Their name was Cheryle.

[koneko]

38. Several people

friends from college mostly. I went to school in the Midwest, but moved abroad after graduating. When I came back 7 years later, I moved home to Mass.

And, while I wouldn't want to try to rekindle anything, there is one old flame I'd want to talk to. We left things on weird terms, so I'd love to make sure that after 11 years, that it's all good between us.

[Allenberg]

41. Yeah, but one of them is rather terrible.

My best friend from childhood, his name was Jerry, unexpectedly died at the age of 20 roughly three years ago from complications of vertebrae-fusion surgery. We grew up together, and might as well of been brothers. Oddly enough, about a year before he died, we went on a cross-country roadtrip just like we had always planned from childhood.

I also wish I would of kept in contact with an uncle who moves around the world alot, but he severed ties with the family after my grandmother (his mother) died, after some family issues.

[Bertha Venation]

42. Sandi, Cheryl, and Jill.

:cry:

[the Princess]

43. Rich

I miss him to this day.

He was the first man I ever really loved. He was kind - sweet - compasionate and just the best person I had ever met until
CO Liberal.

He was also a manic depressive and was institutionalized for trying to kill himself.

I miss him - thinking about him still brings tears to my eyes and I wish I knew that he was ok.

:(

[fluffernutter]

44. i hope he's okay too.

:hug:

[rbnyc]

45. Nancy

We were great friends. Then I moved to NYC. I was to be her maid of honor, but hadn't fully realized how expensive and demanding it would be to live in Manhattan. I also had a personal crises. I backed out very late and ungracefully and really left her hanging. It was very unfair to her and I was very ashamed. Since then, I've lost touch with her completely.

She was a good friend and a very cool person.

I'm really sorry.
