I met Abe when I was in Junior High, probably about 13 or 14 years old in Meadow Hill. We dated about seven mothns or so, in fact, I've met you once Jack. Abe was attending (I believe) St. Joseph's at the time. I have to tell you he was the most respectful boyfriend I have ever had. Never tried anything out of the way like the rest of the boys, very sweet and most of all, worshiped the ground you walked on, respected you and was grateful for everything you had done for him. He never told me of his experiences in foster care, but he honestly did tell me how you saved him and he is the one who got me calling my father pops even! We spent a lot of time together; me, Abe and Eff, and had a lot of good memories. When he came to North Junior High we decided we were too young and needed to experience other things, and ended our boyfriend/girlfriend relationship but we remained good friends. I recently found him on Facebook, he added me, then Eff sent me the article. To this day I think about him, cry, miss him, and wish I could have seen him at least one more time. I didn't ask him about how he has been online because I planned on getting together with him next trip to Newburgh, maybe meet his family and his beautiful little one, but now I regret not talking to him when I had the chance. I know the person Abe was, what he was capable of and how much he really did appreciate you and love you. Just wanted to share that with you. I hope you find peace with it.
