There is this guy I have not seen in twenty years nor his sister. That time when I saw them was at a funeral for a mutual friend. To make a long story short, this past year my niece passed away and four months later her father, my brother, passed away also. This guy who is one of my Facebook friends is aware of this because I posted it on Facebook. This guy private messaged me to call his sister because she has health issues. I have not seen or talk to his sister in over twenty years. What would you do? I find it strange and inconsiderate for him to do this as he is aware of my loss.
The older you get the more memories come flooding back because you have more time. There certain triggers ( death. Weddings, birth etc.) that bring memories to the fore. You cannot grow old friends. Make contact and take the good memories and enjoy. And share the loss of loved with a little sympathy and pain.
