Yesterday I was talking to the domain investor Neil Armstrong and we got to chatting and college came up. I had dated a girl that was raised in Australia and she really was my first real love. It was the first time that I really cared about someone. I was a typical 19 year old and didn’t always do and say the things that I should have. After my Mom it was the first woman that made me who I am today. I was an ass at the end and there honestly wasn’t a month that goes by that I didn’t think of the time down the road that I could thank her for being an important part of my journey. There are things I do today because of our time together. It worked out perfectly because I met my wife. And my wife loved me because that former person had carved a little on me to make me respectable and took me from a fool, to a project.
Over the years, we had chatted on Facebook and via email and thanked and said my sorrys but I never felt it would be complete until I could say it face to face. It was always going to be difficult because she was married with children and I’m pretty sure my impact on her life was not as much as hers was on mine. After the chat with Neil I went back to Facebook to see how she’s been.
She passed. I still am not sure how, only that it was sudden and unexpected. I’m sure I’ll find out but how and why but that doesn’t take away the gap that’s now there. My heart hurts for her children, her husband, her friends and family. I join the list of people that aren’t going to get to share special moments in the future. They were going to have thousands of hours of joy, I was looking for an hour. An hour I’ve been looking forward to for 30 years.
I look back in my 50 years for regrets and I can honestly say that was it. I have none because my wonderful life is what it is because of all and the bad moments that built the steps to where I am now. I don’t feel there are any other moments that I wish could be redone. I am satisfied. But this one. It’s just different. You know its different when after 30 years you still cry and your heart hurts the same as when it was over. That’s the sign of caring, love, and gratefulness. When its strong it never goes away. I don’t know where it will go now. Probably in a book, definitely in my thoughts, and forever a part of who I am.

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
Wow, Shane, she must have been one hell of a good woman for you to speak so warmly of her these many years later. Any of us can only hope that someone says such nice things about us when we pass. Your story hit me right in the gut, I went through something similar. I am sorry.
Really sorry to hear this, Shane. Hopefully you can connect with her family and receive a bit more closure, though I know it’s not comparable to speaking with her one last time.
