I don't find it either of those things. A bit odd perhaps. People caring right off the bat is...strange at best. I'm not really used to this level of...I'm not sure what to do with this much cari. But thank you for your points and ideas.
I think the main reason I asked is because, well. I do know that I can hardly let what happened define the pattern of my life. I only regret that I am...not as good of a friend as I should be. But you're right that I need to find a way to deal with it, and the remembering what happened was so long ago. I appreciate the help.
