Your story, eloquently relayed, seems to have touched many who experienced a similar loss. Me too. It was before the days of online connections. At “happy hour” in the neighborhood bar, each with our separate groups of friends, we clearly experienced a connection but neither made an opportunity to approach. Soon after, I learned we had a mutual acquaintance and asked to her introduce us. Before she could, he died accidentally. I still feel sad when I think of him.
