It reminds me of my high school sweetheart, whose heart I broke when we both went off to college. He had a huge impact on my life, and many years later, I wanted to reach out and thank him. Sadly, he died when his plane crashed in 2004. He was an exceptional person, brilliant and brave. I felt I was not his match, so I broke off our engagement. I wish I could say we parted on good terms, but my last memory is of him crying.
