Dear Jeremy,
I shall try one last time though not to be a bother but to seek a friendship that I feel can work and benefit us both. It seems that most people pass through our lives and leave a vacant mark. Soon to be forgotten, or if thought of, just as a passing blip that does not linger.
However then, there are those who leave their mark as if to say "I am somebody of value"; "I want to make a difference." I am not sure where or how I so tragically messed up in trying to recapture a friendship that I felt important. Not wanting anything more or anything less, but a friendship of value and meaning that would be of importance to two lives.
Long ago, there was a young man of intrigue on my team. His intelligence shown through his posts on the board and there was something there, something that sparked a thought of value. It was difficult to define, harder still to understand, nonetheless, that young man left a mark that would stay in the portals of my mind.
Typically, society does not take kindly to a grown married man taking up a friendship with a young man with a family of his own. Innocent, of course, respectful even more, but still looked at with that inevitable stink eye. Maybe one day the paths of this coach and team member will cross again.
Most of the friendships that I value in my life have come along in the most unusual way. For instance, the nine year old female that just seemed to fit under my wing. I was the one that was not interested in "hitting" on her, just establishing a friendship that could last for years to come. Or perhaps the 93 year old lady in the nursing home who was hungry for the company of someone that enjoyed listening to her stories of times gone by. The 74 year old author from Casey County that immediately gave a feeling of commonality that was uncovered after just a few dinners and glasses of Merlot. A young friend of a son who lacking a father figure, just wanted respect from a generation that was not willing to give it. I could go on and on.
I have found that the old saying that you can't pick your family however, you can pick your friends is of tremendous value in my life. Souls are waiting around every corner or in the most bizarre places but when you encounter them, the rewards are endless.
What does all this mean? For you perhaps nothing, or maybe, just maybe, something. That is for you to decide. Nature may have already taken its course but I try not to give up on anything that I consider of value in my life or the lives of others.
Best Regards, Davebobbyto4stcomixscatman
