4. It's happened to me, too...

Growing up with Cerebral Palsy and a walking disability, I was bullied and teased and made fun of a LOT during my school years. When Facebook came around, I added the classmates who had treated me well. One night I received a request from one of my worst bullying tormentors. Deciding to be the bigger man and to let the past be the past, I accepted the request. Later on that night I received a message from him sincerely apologizing for how he treated me back in junior high and high school. We talked, and now I would consider us very good friends. To the point that when his mother passed away a couple of years ago, I sent him my condolences and mourned her death with him. Twenty years ago, you would have never been able to convince me that I would become friends with this guy. But, it happened.
