After the meeting, a young woman came up and told me how much she appriciated my story and how she has a friend name Ronni, who always talked about his best friend from high school, who he'd lost. We compared notes and decided to give him a call. It was him. Years and miles rushed away. We saw each other once and made plans for more meetings, that never came to pass.
Life happens all too quickly, sometimes.
Ronni, if you see this, I miss you. I hope you saw this TV show and thought of us. Thank you, ABC, for showing my life on prime time. You created characters more real than you knew. Too bad you gave up too soon.
