I recently found someone on Facebook (not an ex) who for a short time when I was much younger had been an important part of mine and my family's life. We have exchanged messages about that time, bringing up shared memories and talking about our lives now. We're both really happy that we've re-established a link.
I'm finding it really hard now to accept that we don't really need to e mail each other every day. All the memories have been shared and our lives now don't coincide in any way. I find myself just wanting to write for the sake of writing just to continue to feel the warmth of this renewed connection. It's hard to know whether continuing communication would be pointless or not.
