Yes if whatever obstacle prevented it from happening is no longer a factor.

Tutto è possibile!  (Anything is possible.)

Those of us -- of a certain age -- can appreciate those who have experienced what we've experienced.  There's a bond.

After 24 years, many things change. Some for better and some not. Reviving a romantic relationship after that many years...?....I would think not. A good friendship, maybe. But not a romantic one.

I totally agree on that score.  I know his mom died several years ago, she used to keep in touch with me.  I guess I'm just being foolish.

Yes.  There is a bond, but he's a man and men can forget more than women can.

I won't do anything . . . too afraid of being rebuffed.

Yes. One of my mother's cousins was widowed for several years, ran into her high school sweetheart, who had lost his wife, they reconnected, and they got married!

That happened with my father.  My mom died in 1967 at age 49.  His former high school girlfriend's family found him when she got divorced.  It was love at first sight.  We were happy for him.

Thing is they married, he moved to FL where she had a home and we rarely saw him again.  Long story, but not for now.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  Be brave.

It is always possible.

That is a long time, and people do change. But it never hurts to reconnect with people who we are wondering about, as long as they are both 'available' and there is no one to be hurt by doing so. 

If it were me, and I was wondering, I'd make an attempt, but with little expectation other than maybe catching up with someone from my past. If more happens then it is good. If not, nothing lost, really. 

I think just keeping expectations in line is the major thing when pursuing something like this.

Yes, that particular obstacle is over . . . but new ones have taken its place, not to mention my health issues.

I think I'd be happy just to talk to him and see how he is doing.
