This is amazing! I feel happiness and joy hearing how this one decision had such an impact on so many lives. How much richer both your lives are having connected and keeping that connection.We don't go back that far, but he was a great help to me during some difficult times in my life. We met when he was in a drug and alcohol rehab program. My partner at the time was there as well. We really just knew each other from the family group counseling sessions.
He got discharged before my partner did. When my SO learned he was going to be living in his car, he told L that he could live with us.My SO still had a week in the program so L would be living with me in my house. A strange man I hardly knew. After much soul searching, I agreed. It was one of my best life decisions.
That was 35 years ago. L has maintained his sobriety, went to college, got a few advanced degrees, and is now retired. Even in retirement, he's active and busy.
I long ago shed that partner, but I kept the great friend I made who is like a big brother to me!
