A Child Of Atom

Completely out of the blue (and completely unrelated to my posting of our story) Ex002 contacted me this week! It was a surprise, of all the people who have found me through the web (including friends from high school, cousins, and a random others) this one was the most unexpected, and in some ways the most pleasant. It was great to discover that in the intervening 16 or 17 years since we dated we've both become adults, which is something that I never thought I'd be able to say. You lose touch with someone and the freeze in your mind the way they were, for better or worse doomed to be the person they were the last time you saw them. It's good to know that what was a semi-negative memory of a person can now be a happy memory of a guy with a cat and a husband and boat that they plan to sail around the world. That's much better.
