Facebook Haunting

[smokingboot]

Two/three days after recollecting a guy with whom I had, well, less a moment more a nuclear incident over 30 years ago, his wife's name appears on my FB in the People You May Know section. I saw it, thought what the hell, is this who I think it is? and followed it. And there she is. And there he is. I looked and learned two things: 1) She is as pretty at 60 as she was at 20. 2) Forget the power of age to weaken or dismay. In the end, it's bloody embarrassment that does us in.

Ha, ha, ha, ha! 😀

So are you now enjoying that most intimate of all human connections, Facebook Friendship, with the wife?

Bless her, she was not ‘the wife’ back then. Still, any connection with me would hurt her immensely so it’s best if I stay away for ever. But if good feeling and genuine wishes for her happiness mean a thing, I’ll send her those til we’re all done ❤️‍🩹
