I am so close! Some of my longtime readers will remember this post I did a few years ago. How I longed to fit a puzzle piece I had been missing back into my life. How much I missed my best friend.

Twice a year, every year, I have searched through databases, Google, Canada411, Classmates, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn - whatever the social gathering place of the moment is - to find Steve. And I have been unsuccessful. Until now.

Tonight I found a path that leads through another long lost friend. I found Mike. Facebook was the source. Mike, who I got in so much trouble over. We stayed out late, we even got stuck in the middle of a riot together and had a blast - hell, we even wound up in the middle of Manhattan once! I was always in trouble with Mike’s mom for something or other. Totally worth it, though. I loved Mike. Adored him. He was nothing like Steve, but he was a great friend. He was a part of my life. Did I mention Mike is Steve’s brother?

When I found Mike tonight, I wept. I am so close to completing a circle I had nearly given up on. Somewhere out there is a man, who used to be a boy, who owns a graduation ring that has SBWS inscribed in it. Somewhere is a man, who used to be a boy, who used to know a girl, who is now a woman. And I miss him more than any words could describe.
