I posted on that thread that DH had had a friend in his teens that he did everything with.
This friend moved from Ontario to British Columbia before DH and I met, so I've never met him. But every few months, he would call and DH would be on the phone for hours with him.
Last time we heard from him, he was moving. It has been quite a few years since we heard from him.
DH's 50th birthday is on the horizon (2 years away) and with that in mind, I set out to find this friend.
He is on Facebook. I sent a message (but not being friends, it was probably sucked into his "other" folder). His profile did not have a "friend request" button on it. And it appeared that he had not posted in quite a while.
SO, I proceeded to go through the people who had commented on his most recent photo posted. Sent them all the message that I was not wanting his personal info, but to please tell him to check that "other" folder and that I was looking for him.
I Googled him. I did the phone number look up. NOTHING - other than his FB profile, this guy is not around.
OMG! He messaged me back today!! He moved back to Ontario last year! I told him DH would love to hear from him and gave him our current number.
I've not told DH. I'm sitting her waiting for a phone call - hopefully tonight, but I wanted it to be a surprise.
Yay!
*****UPDATE*****
He just sent me a Facebook message about 30 minutes ago, asking when was good to call (and to wish me happy birthday LOL) - I told him DH had just walked in the door, we weren't going out for a while yet...
They have been on the phone for half an hour! Yay!
DH came into the office to say "he moved back to XXX" and I'm like "ya, I already knew that - way ahead of you!" LOL
Seriously sounds like they just talked last week. I'm SO glad I followed up like I did!
