Wow, that sucks, but...
Monday, 30 November 2009 13:13Hopefully this is the final Blast from the Past for a little bit. I told Jerry that I didn't really remember him that well and didn't consider myself to be his girlfriend. I also apologized -- the bit about "don't you remember you was my gf?" kinda threw me.
As it turns out, Jerry was in a horrible motorcycle accident after he and I parted ways. A car pulled out in front of him and his stepbrother in the summer of '86. Jerry died twice in the ER, but his stepbrother didn't survive. He also lost a foot. Damn.
The revelation that I didn't consider what we had "a relationship" seemed to disappoint him. Oh well. That's kind of what 23 years will do to one's memory. I may hear from him again or I may not.
This would not be the first time someone from the distant past was more emotionally involved than I was aware of. I can remember meeting one guy on a double date, necking, and the next day he called me to tell me he was in love with me. I guess small town boys fall harder and faster. That would explain a lot, actually.
