If you ever want to look up someone you used to know I think I can
recommend Facebook after some successes. I have already told you about
at least one person I found on Facebook from my sighted past. I have
found a few others too, but I didn't feel close enough to them to
actually contact them. Well, I just found another one who I did just
contact. There was a little girl I used to babysit. I met her when she
was two years old. The last time I saw her before losing my eyesight she
was seven. The last time I saw her in the sense of being in the same
room with her she was just about a month short of her twelfth birthday.
The last time I spoke to her was on the phone on her fourteenth
birthday. Well, I was just thinking about her and I did a search for her
on Facebook. I was surprised at how easy it was to find her. I sent her
a friend request and a message asking her if she remembered me. Within
five minutes my friend request was accepted and she answered me telling
me that she could never forget me and asked if I remembered a certain
song someone had made up about me. I didn't remember the song. It was
probably sung behind my back because it was making fun of me. But I
forgive the song writer, someone else I haven't spoken to for decades.
What blows my mind is that that little girl is now thirty-six years old
and approaching her thirty-seventh birthday in December. Sheesh! I'm
getting too old too fast!
