I gave her such answers as I could, but later realized that they seemed inadequate even to me. What I later came up with was the thought that I never saw it as a REAL rape attempt. True, it looked real enough, yet B had to have known all along that he wasn't going to prevail unless he injured me, yet he never tried to do so. Because I never believed that he would have truly raped me had he been able, my belief in his essential goodness toward me remained unchanged, and this made it possible for me to laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23830899.post-28727797228217462092011-07-05T18:46:24.184-07:002011-07-05T18:46:24.184-07:00I have no friends from high school I keep in conta...I have no friends from high school I keep in contact with, just two from college and it is occasional.

I keep photos of them around and tell their stories often and, to me, that keeps them alive in my heart.

He died of an OD somewhere around 1990 but would have been happy to have his ID carried on, but then that was in San Diego. But, he was buried in Tulsa. <br />I have a feeling if you wanted to change your ID, it might actually be easier today given the market.<br />Yes, life can sure hurt sometimes.<br />But, you aren't alone with the memories if that helps any. Like you, I've been thinking too much of those days.Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23830899.post-39612821408222728802011-07-03T19:50:32.262-07:002011-07-03T19:50:32.262-07:00Dead perhaps, but not gone while they are still re...Dead perhaps, but not gone while they are still remembered.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23830899.post-54363921934737659842011-07-03T19:28:00.711-07:002011-07-03T19:28:00.711-07:00Such sad memories, Snow, but tinged with real joy,...Such sad memories, Snow, but tinged with real joy, and I agree with you, age can be divisive and yet there are times we manage to transcend it.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.com
