Bella, I love your Story, do you still live in Silicon Valley? Those California foothills sound like the ones about 4 blocks from my house.

Dona, No longer, but those were the Los Gatos foothills about 2 miles north of the high school.

I have looked but I can’t find him. Chris was my first real love and I still think about him. I’m not looking to hook up with him nor do I want to go back in time, I just want to know that he is happy and well. Wonder if I will ever be able to contact him. Shoot, I wonder if he would even remember me. I would hope so.

It’s been a looooong time since my first real love. I tried to find him, but couldn’t. Like you, Joan, I hope he would have remembered me anyhow. He occasionally turns up in my dreams.

I married my first love when I was 21 and despite the odds, we are still together 45 years later. We grew up together and had to fight through some hard times, but we are still here and glad to be. Sometimes we both feel we missed some time alone, marrying the month we both graduated college, but we have also had some great times. We are also lucky enough to have several friends who have been together since college or even earlier, so we can talk about it to each other. I am lucky.

Judy, You ARE lucky….and if I can’t be with the love of my life [because he’s dead] I truly love to hear that someone else can. Would love it if I could go back even for 1/2 hour…..lucky you can.

Ann C. Sorry about your loss. We try to live life knowing that it can change so fast. I was a Pediatric SW, so that is even more acute for me. I remember that feeling about just one more hour. Thanks for your thoughts.

My first love married my friend and next door neighbor. Not only did he break my heart big time, but my friend did as well. I felt the hurt for many years. However, I am thankful for unanswered prayers as he turned out not to be the prince I thought he was.

No, my first love died over 15 years ago of unknown causes. I found his obit when I was looking for some family ones for the genealogy work I’m doing.

I looked…didn’t find my (not first but best) love. I know in my heart I did better, however he still is the LOVE OF MY LIFE. I don’t care if I see him, but I would like to know he thinks of me once in awhile.

Probably looks good because you didn’t stay with him, if you had you would have found all of the problems just like anyone else ;-).
