This was someone who I loved dearly and still do. We had a really crazy summer when we met; stuck to each other like glue! Through the years we became so close that reading each other's thoughts happened all the time, even when apart at great distances. The time came when I needed to move to Seattle for activist work. We exchanged letters every day (before email) and sometimes, twice in a day! The activist work was beginning to culminate with a tour through the country after three years. We met again and had a great time before I had to finish the tour. When I got back to Seattle I received a single letter explaining how I was a malicious spirit! I tried writing back, making phone calls, only to find that they had moved and I was 'ghosted'. I could feel my heart sink. It was the worst feeling I ever felt.
