A Beautiful Moment

Hello readers! Hope all is well with you today. Me? Oh my day was going so so until a few minutes ago, but I just had a visit from someone that changed it to very good. So here's the sitch: My very first boyfriend, whom I haven't seen in about six years, just left my house. Now I wasn't sure if I really wanted to see him because he was responsible for my very first heartbreak. But the visit turned out to be very delightful and I am so happy that he asked to come by. Back in high school we dated for about a year and of course I was madly in love with him(he was my first) but we ended up breaking up and he was really kind of a jerk towards me. I'd rather not revisit those moments but fast forward a few years, he got married, went into the army, lived in Hawaii and now he's back here in Philly. I got a friend request from him on Facebook a few weeks ago, I accepted and he wrote me a message that went kinda like this "Nelle (my nickname) I know that this may be a little too late and you probably don't really care but I just wanted to apologize to you for any harm that I have caused you in the past. I never wanted to hurt you. Im so sorry." I told him it was ok and that the past was in the past and his apology is accepted. And from there we were messaging back and forth asking how we were, talking about our families and our current life situations. We exchanged numbers and then he asked if he could come by, all he wanted to do was give me a big hug. And at first it didn't work out, we had conflicting schedules but he made it out today. And Im very happy he did. We spoke about his current situation, his past, his plans, my plans, and he kept apologizing and telling me that I didn't deserve the treatment I got. He thanked me for having a forgiving heart and we embraced. And it was a very beautiful moment. Perhaps we can be friends now *smile*
