Plus: Couldn’t you tell the Bridezilla story was a fake?
This is a beautiful testimony to the power of a letter to unleash memories and lift up a life.
When a year later I was still broken and mourning to a degree I felt was unhealthy, I gathered my wits, sold my possessions, and left town by joining the Air Force.Today, I’m retired after a complex and gratifying life that has included world travel, several additional years of higher education, a satisfying teaching career, and last but not least, 34 years with the right person, the love of my life and truly the best, most supportive, complementary partner I could have asked for.
Is this an imprudent idea that should be squelched, or would it be nice, acceptable closure to a 50-year-old heartbreak?Would contacting Mr. Long-Ago wrap things up nicely for you, or might this contact open the lid to a box that contains 50 years of questions and emotions? Might it trigger some latent longing for Mr. Long-Ago?I do know that the life you are describing — complicated, expansive and graced by a very long-lasting love with the right person — is the essence of Happy-Ever-After.
Or , a sincere apology might be offered and accepted, and you part company with a deep appreciation for your own emotional history.
