My mother had a saying you shouldnât go back which Iâve always followed. My husband on the other hand was always delighted to contact old friends he hadnât see for years. It nearly aways turned out to be a disappointment. After many years you are strangers. The exception I made was when I held a surprise retirement party for him and invited some young men he had been an apprentice with. It was a disaster. One man who had been such a fun person sat in the corner and continually listed all his ailments and illnesses. Another moaned all the time about his children. There were all these old men moaning. One kept in touch and I received a letter from him at Christmas but it was all about the medical mishaps he and his partner had had during the last year and despite my dear husband dying I was lucky as I saw our children as he didnât see his. He did say I was lucky as I had had a happy marriage which was true but his marriage had been a disaster. I look forward to hearing from him next year. Again as my mother would say âif Iâm sparedâ.
