10. About a year ago, I "remet" an old girlfriend...

In high school, we dated, went steady, made plans for the future. Then life came along and we separated, just went our own ways: no big screaming fight or break-up or anything.

Fast forward 42 years...

I called a nearby animal rescue group to foster a Siberian puppy they had, and needed to foster somewhere (I have 4 Sibes). In talking about helping at the rescue, lo and behold, I find out its the old girlfriend.

She's with her 2nd husband, I'm with my 3rd wife, we each have grandkids, and we each have 4 dogs at home!! We finally "remet" about a year ago, and it has developed into a lovely friendship. We have found out that each of us is happy and healthy.

It really is great to have found her again. We can flirt with each other, we can help each other, and we kid around so easily. All 4 of us are friends, and we all get together, both at the dog park and socially.

If you can make it work out, and the feelings are mutual, I would say go for it. Life really IS too short, and love really CAN last forever.
