Story of a Lost Love Rekindled

[Loretta R. Payson]

Linda’s most vivid memory of James was watching him play basketball over the abandoned court near their house in Florida. They were neighbors since birth until Linda’s family decided to migrate in California where his father accepted a more conducive job. It was a couple of week before transferring when Linda had the chance to meet and get acquainted with James when his Rottweiler tried to run after her. It started with a sorry and ends up finding each other dating over burgers and fries at a fast food chain outside their village. For over a week, they just talk, had fun and played with just anything. It was a clear case of puppy love; they were both 10 years old. Until the day for Linda’s family to leave Florida arrived. It tore both Linda and James’ young heart but they can never really do anything about it. James gave Linda a dog collar with the words “I love you” written over it. It was the gift Linda most dearly kept as a reminder of how they first met and grew love from it. They tried to get in touch with each other through letters but somewhere from the years after the separation, the letters became rare and eventually losing contact too.

After 15 long years following their separation, Linda, while checking on her old stuff run across the gift James gave her. Seeing that collar had given her the shivers and remembered what she and James had when they were in Florida. She knew it was her fault that they’ve lost contact. It was her who stopped sending and replying to James’ letter first since she was busy making new friends in California. Curiosity gets on her and excitement had gotten on her nerves that she wanted to immediately background check and find what’s up for James now after 15 years that they have lost contact with each other. She can’t explain the excitement but then she wanted to find and see him again. Her job as a nurse doesn’t permit her to travel for a long time and she knows too well that going back to Florida to find him will take time in addition to the possibility that James might not be keeping residence there anymore.

Not until Linda talk to a friend about James. Her friend suggested trying using people search online especially the available people search around the internet. Linda thought of giving it a try. She then found herself typing the complete name and information of James. After just hours, she got positive result. She learned that James too had moved to New York from the information she got. She tried contacting him but no reply came from him. What she did was to write a letter asking how he was and how she wanted to get in touch with him again. She was hopeful amidst the likelihood that James will not get her letter or refused giving attention to it. There lots of reasons not to expect until one early morning, she woke up with a knock on her apartment. When she opened her door, it was a familiar face she had seen. Indeed, it was James. With a big smile on his face, they started not with a sorry this time but with a hopeful and sweet Hi. It was not anymore a case of them being a childhood sweethearts but a true love worthy of a lifetime vows.
