I was 80 years old on Wednesday. Now that's really old! You're just older than
you were. (smile)

Subject: [blind-democracy] Facebook Finds Another One
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!
