Well - I am a softy - I read your first post, but I couldn't respond because I couldn't see thru the tears to type.
It reminds me:
Wife and I married right out of high school. Our circle of friends were country kids, and one of the guys that we knew was real shy. He asked me how to approach a sweet farm gal that lived a few ridges over from him. She was a girl you couldn't help but love, but she'd lost her Mom in the eighth grade, and she seemed to be devoted to helping her Dad around the farm. I told him "Faint heart never won fair maiden", so he sent her a card. No response. He sent another card - then another, and so on. This guy was painfully shy. One day he went to the mailbox, and there was his last card marked "Return to sender". Broke his heart. As time went on, he eventually found a gal and got married, but the sweet farm gal stayed at home helping her Dad. About 25 years later, I got a call from the local undertaker, asking me if I'd be a pallbearer for this sweet lady. She'd died - still single. I told him I would. When I got to the funeral home, there was this shy friend there to be a pallbearer also. Her brother told us that she had given him a list of people that she wanted for her pallbearers, and this shy failed suiter was at the top of her list. Looking back, maybe she was even more shy than he was. She would have know that this was her last chance to reply to him.
