On this my 16th wedding anniversary, a local family is getting together to bury their sister / daughter. We dated for a little while back in the day. She was a very pretty blue-eyed blond. A brilliant singer with a keen intellect, she seemed to have it all. Unfortunately, she never figured out how to maintain a relationship. When we went out, she chose to see my brother-in-law on the side. I broke it off and was treated to a stalking. Through channels, I've heard she was increasingly desperate for a stable love life. I guess we can't live other's lives for them or even always intervene, but I'm left with the feeling that the younger me missed a chance to help along the way.
