Old friend

Today I was surfing around facebook and found a guy with the same name as a friend from bible camp/church a long time ago. This was back when I lived in the city and was involved in AWANA as a child. I emailed him asking him if he had ever gone to that certain church or bible camp and he replied back and said that he had, but didn't quite remember me.
He may not remember me, and that's fine. If I hadn't recognized his name, I wouldn't have ever thought that he was the same person. I remember him only because he was the only person that befriended me at church. The other girls were mean to me, and one of them liked him. I remember one day when one of the girls had taken my necklace and was taunting me with it, and he stepped in and told her off and got my necklace back. We hung out for the rest of church camp. It was a long time ago, and I haven't thought about that in years, but it's just amazing that one person did one little thing, and I remembered it all these years. It just goes to show that the little things do mean something.
Maybe I found his facebook because I was supposed to. Maybe something that I am going to do or should do or have done has impacted someone like that. I really hope so. I'd like to know that I made a difference in someone's life like that. I'm not good when I'm by myself in a group situation. I'm out of my comfort zone and I have a hard time relating to people sometimes. So when he stepped in and stopped them from torturing me (stupid vicious girls), I felt like I had been saved!
I'm debating whether or not to tell him. I'm not going to be all mushy or anything, because I don't know the guy, and I don't want him to think I'm some weirdo. But maybe I'm supposed to. Maybe he's supposed to hear it.
I don't know. I'm probably thinking too much about this.

Ben had a huge simulator test today. If he didn't pass it, he would have to be put back 3 weeks in tech school and wouldn't graduate with the rest of his class. He was SO nervous last night, and I kept telling him not to worry, because he is so smart and he knows what he is doing. I honestly have never seen him apply himself so much to something. Before he left for basic, I was afraid he'd find this too hard and wouldn't want to do it anymore. He did that with school (not that he found it hard, but just wasn't interested), and just didn't have much focus with anything. So seeing him succeed in this is truly wonderful, and I couldn't be more proud. I called him tonight and he did pass it! I am so happy and just thrilled that all of his hard work and dedication is paying off. Truly happy. He comes home in just 8 days, and my heart beats harder with every passing second.

I'm off to go surf around the web and see what I can find!

smooches.
