Amazing

When Jeff and I met we each had a friend that we went EVERY WHERE with. A few weeks ago I reconnected with my good friend Judy. Judy and I had not seen each other since she was one of my bridesmaids almost 20 years ago. Well and now because of Facebook we found each other again and it is like we never lost a beat.
Well Jeff's friend Tomas is another story, we lost track of him almost 18 years ago. He moved to New York well before Jeff and I were married in 1989. We used to write letters and talk to each other on the phone. Well the last time we spoke to Tomas was March of 1991 I was pregnant with Jake and watching the news as the Gulf War broke out. I remember this all too clearly like it was yesterday. Jeff was at work and Tomas and I were talking about the baby and our lives and Tomas was telling me he was joining the police academy and going to become a NYC police officer. Well as time went on we lost contact. I watched my hubby's heart brake as we lost contact with Tomas.
We have searched and searched for him. We looked through dex on line and any thing we could do to try to find Tomas. We came to the conclusion that he must have been killed in 09/11, which of course broke our hearts, like you could not believe.
Well Tuesday, while I was home sick, I logged into my e mail and to my surprise I had a friend request from Tomas,I cried. Jeff was not home and when he got home he wondered. #1 why I was out of bed and #2 why I was crying. So through the tears in my eyes I pulled up my facebook page and showed Jeff a picture of my "new" friend. He was shocked and also cried along with me.Jeff has refused to join facebook, but now that we found Tomas he is a facebook person.
There has been something "missing" in our life for the past 18 years and now as I look at my hubby and see the happiness in his eyes I now know that Tomas was the thing missing. Tomas is back (even though he lives in NY) and he is here to STAY. My kids now know that "Uncle" Tomas really does exist and he is not a figment of our imagination!
