I'm the one on the left. Patti is on the right. I look demented, Patti looks stoned off her nut.
Best friends since 1976. We went through hell and high water together. We lost track of each other in 1982, when we were in our late teens.
For 43 years we searched for each other, and had no luck. I found her on Facebook, but she never logged in to her account, so she never saw my messages. I was able to contact her little brother and ask him to tell her I was seeking her, but he took his own life right around that time, and she never got the message.
Finally I paid a people search company for data, and got what looked like it might be her address. I sent her a Christmas card, and she got it and wrote back. This was last Christmas, 2024.
Within days we were on the phone. A few months later, her boyfriend passed away and she had to move in a hurry. I told her to come out here to Texas from Florida, and she has been here since June now.
And you know? It's like no time at all has passed. We picked up right where we left off. Tighter than a nun's sphincter, bickering regularly, but always ALWAYS each other's number one.
I felt incomplete for 43 years. Now I have my family, my dogs, and my Patti. Life is good.
