"Return of a old Friend"

If you have been keeping up. In my first post I "fish bowled" my teacher and well I think the mystics in the Universe read my post and answered my prayers. I originally contacted my old middle school about any information they could provide to me about my sixth grade teacher but no luck. I then remembered about an old friend that I was really close to in middle school. We took many of the same classes and I thought I should search on Facebook (FB) perhaps he has one. I finally found him and asked if he had any information on my teacher that played such an important role in my life. My friend told me that he had her on FB and I just finally jumped of joy after a whole year of searching. At the time I was in Burbank,Ca with a friend and getting ready to take the AMTRAK to Irvine (The Vine). I could not wait to write her a message so I spent the next two hours on the train to write her words I wanted to say for so long. I cried, I laughed, I smiled, and I felt happiness. I am pretty sure the people on the train must have thought I was crazy but it did not matter. I could finally reconnect with a person who played an important role in changing the course of my life. At times people cannot see how their kind words and actions can drastically change the life of another. It is sad at times because some of us including you never find out how the words given to others has caused and will cause change in the life of another. One piece of advice "Do not be afraid to be vulnerable and say what you want to say before you end thinking about what you wished you had said 30 years from now or 50 at that"

Best,
Bertii

P.S "Thanks for reading"
