So today I woke up to an email from an old boyfriend I had when I was 19 years old. Talk about a blast from the past. He was like the perfect guy. He was smart, catholic, came from a great family, good looking, tall, pretty much everything I was looking for in a husband. I was in love and ready to marry him. He, on the other hand was still in the having fun mode. We had very different work schedules that prevented us from being able to spend a lot of time and so we only dated for about a little over a year. He broke it off with me then and I was sad. I remember feeling very upset at the time. Today we exchanged phone numbers and talked for hours. I wanted to keep talking as he brought back so many memories. Good ones that I realized were a part of one of the best years of my life. He had such a great memory of our time together. He even still has an alarm clock that I gave him for his birthday then. He had such a odd schedule and always had a hard time waking up so it was the perfect gift to give him. He's married with children now and has two great kids from what he told me. We discussed how I felt about him then with the whole list of qualities and he said to me, "why didn't you tell me this then?" I guess at the time, I was afraid it might scare him off. It's one of those "What if?" moments and we will never know. I have always thought about him and how he was, and now I know. We had a great conversation, catching up and I'm so glad he found my email through MyLife.com We will probably continue to keep in contact as we had such a good conversation. It's a odd feeling to hear his voice again. He sounds the same to me. It was like it was just yesterday. He made my day a happy one.
After I wrote this blog I asked my old friend to send me a picture of the alarm clock that he still had and here it is. It looks just like the image I posted only used and abused. I still can not believe that it still works. I should send this to Sony.
