One of the blessings of the holidays is that people you haven’t seen for a while are motivated or one is motivated to forget the past and make an effort to reach out. Such a situation happened this week. I tend to navigate towards young men and women and I had lost touch with one about 6 years ago. This week he txt'd us!
Victor was and still is like a son to us! We met like we meet most of our friends, at a club, online or I just reach out to anyone anywhere. I forgot actually how we met Victor but one day he is living with us and becomes like our son. No questions asked no questions needed to ask. I enjoyed celebrating holidays with him since our children tended not to be around. I loved him for whom he was! He had his head on straight and though at times we disagreed, it's what made us a family.
I used to make lunch for him and at times get him lunch. He worked two jobs and still had time to get into trouble. However he was not a troubled kid. Victor was in our heart and one day he left that spot. I am a believer your hearts has various levels and as you navigate through life people go through the various levels with you.
My family asked about Victor and our friends also wondered how he was doing. So now I am happy to report to all that, Victor is fine and working in New Jersey. I am also happy to report that the past has been forgotten and the relationship started where we left off.
Happy Holiday's!
