I just had a totally surprise visit from someone I was very close to for many years. We had a major falling out a few years ago (doesn't matter what it was, but it was serious) and have only seen each other the odd time on the street or at a concert. This person asked for a second chance regarding our relationship, and I had to keep myself from looking misty-eyed in front of them. All I could think was that this was not the same person who acted so cruelly to me back then. Sure they look pretty much the same, but whatever they were going through then has been worked out I guess, and I certainly feel I want to give them that second chance. Holding grudges just seems so futile, but I know it's the fuel that keeps some people going. Any mudcatters have any thoughts? (and then I'll go back to music and 'G' threads)
