Today I am very sad. At the convention I met the sister I had a crush on at 16 years... (25 years ago!).
We're both married (with someone else) and I found out she has had a lot of problems.
And I'm finding out I still want to have a dinner with her.
That is tragic. "But what would be the wisest course of action? Would entertaining thoughts of an 'old flame' be showing honor to your mate? No! Loyal Christians adhere to God's directions and...."

Thanks sd-7, for your good advise. My heart says I want to meet her again. My head says something else!
I have to say, she looks so good after all those years. I forgot her, but she's still somewere inside me...
Well, that's always a challenge to deal with. Seeing someone you haven't seen in ages who still looks great that you had a crush on...probably happens to everyone, I should think. You just...cope with the feelings for awhile and eventually they'll probably go away. It's like Kryptonite exposure. At least that's what I call it. It'll get better with time.

Thanks. Those conventions are a real real danger! I'm happy with the friends on this JWD site, who keeps me on the right track! ((:
Next year we hear a new encouragement at the convention "The apostate JWD website prevented me from doing bad and nasty things!"
It's strange. I have everything and I have a happy live. But one look at this sister (she still looks like princess Diana in 1980) made me crazy again.
I'm mad ((:
sd-7, you gave yourself away ! Clarke Kent could write, so you really are Superman !
Don't go down that road Gorby, you will tear your heart apart, time heals, just remember her with fondness.
And remember, the Past is another country.
just focus on all her negative qualities.
Thanks Wobble, for these encouragement words. I need them.
I know what you mean...
