Before I begin, I wanna start things off with a simple question: When you were a kid, did one (or both) of your parents have a friend who didn’t treat you like a kid, but as an equal? Or maybe a neighbor?
C’mon, show of hands; don’t be shy. Anyone?
Anyway, my dad had a coworker that was like that. “Sandra” (not her real name) was a good friend and confidant when I was a kid. A couple of months ago, she passed away. I attended her funeral a little while back, and was able to say goodbye.
Nothing ever happened between us; it just never felt like it could happen. But I still loved Sandra just the same. And a couple of times in the past, I’d found myself wondering “What if…?”
