wow.....AugustLeo I have no eal words to describe what I am feeling right now.  I stand amazed at what you have written and can only hope that someoe is lucky enough to find you soon. 

 

I agree with you wholeheartedly, that, as you put it "...not prone to regret the past because I believe I was meant to learn lessons by my mistakes.".  I think the strongest of us are the people who believe that and live it. We take the good, the bad and the ugly and use them to better ourselves and in the relationships we develop later. 

 

What a poignant story.  And by the way, I did not for a moment take you as being angry.  so don't give that another thought.  I appreciate your kind words.  This thread was meant as a sort of escapist prod, to give way to the fantasies of a guy who wishes he could relive some of his golden years in High School atheletics.  I'm quite literally blown away that it gave you pause to consider it so much more. 

 

As Jess(Bruno Kirby) said to Marie(Carrie Fisher) "...It spoke to you, and that pleases me".
