So, at church on Sunday, I ran into an old boyfriend from High School/College. He was a real sweetheart, but just wasn't right for me. We ended things on good terms in our first year of college. I haven't seen him in probably 8 years or so. Well, I was walking into church on Sunday and I recognized him. I knew who he was, and remembered his first name, but I couldn't for the life of me remember his last name (Still can't....I have to go check the yearbooks to find out for sure).
It was bittersweet running into him. I found out that both his parents had passed away and he's really had a rough time since. He had to quit college to get a 2nd job to pay the mortgage on their house which he inherited. I felt really bad for him. It was nice to see him again and catch up, but I just felt bad for him. Especially when he saw me with my husband and son and got a sad look on his face when he told me that he was still single.
So, have you ever run into an old friend and not remembered his/her name?

It is sad to meet someone from the past that isn't doing so well like you did. It gives you that uncomfortable feeling, like what do you say, what can you do?
