OK....here is the weird prize for the day....I am still in shock!

I worked 12 hour shift Wednesday night...got home and went to bed to get some sleep....woke up about 3:30 this afternoon and piddled around with dishes and a few things before getting ready for work tonight (Thursday).
My hubby calls home around 4:30 to be sure I am awake.....he stammers and hesitates a bit and said "Larry called....he left his phone number and said you can call him back if you want to..."
I was confused...I don't know anyone named Larry...my hubby said..."Larry, you ex-hubby..."

MY EX-HUBBY FROM 33 YEARS AGO!!called me TODAY.

Yes, I called him back...like we REALLY have not spoken a word to each other in over 33 years.....we were 2 kids out of high school and didn't have a clue what we were doing!!! Never had any children....he screwed around with my best friends and we got divorced.

He said he was passing through the area and said he thought I deserved at least a phone call. He apologized for being "a crappy husband and likewise an equally crappy friend"....we had a good talk and I told him thing were good...everything in my life --good and bad-- all happened for a reason. Things happened EXACTLY like they needed to happen ....because it all (My whole life) has made me who and what I am today.....And I am pleased with the way it has all turned out.

I think, from the conversation, he has been secretly beating himself up all these years for the whole mess....but we were just kids...too stupid to know any better...not willing to work very hard at anything.

Any reflections from you YTer's??? I am still in a bit of a fog....totally shocked!!

I am back working tonight...but my mind is a million miles away!!!
