I recently got in touch with a friend from 25 years ago. Our first departure did not go as planned and we never really got to say goodbye. I got a divorce and lost the friend in the divorce since they were originally a friend of my husbands. This was a peculiar reunion filled with much excitement. However, there may have been a reason for the departure the first time around. The reunion was a disaster and I once again departed without someone I thought was a friend. I felt remorse for what could have been, but how can you feel remorse for something someone never offered you? We were meant to depart and not come back together.
