A beau I'd been seeing last summer had disappeared off the face of the earth. Months later when he reappeared he told me he'd been injured in a fatal car crash and had spent months in recovery - most of it he'd been in a coma. He was only out one week when he contacted me.
I saw him twice after and it was apparent he'd had a significant brain injury. I didn't reply to his texts - I was overwhelmed.
Today I heard from him. He sent an email. It's been over three months since we've had contact.
He asked, "Can you please remind me why we don't get together anymore? Did you get annoyed with me? Or did I say something inappropriate to you? If you don't respond to this email I can understand. But I did enjoy your company. I remember you but can not remember why we don't see each other anymore."
His email says it all.
