» tkrause777 - Found lost love, desperate for advise

I am in need of advise!
1987 I was 18. I met a guy (Jeff) who I fell hard for and never forgot. Being young, he met someone else and we went our seperate ways, but I never forgot about him. In 2007 ending a BAD 15 year relationship, I thought I would look online for Jeff. My searches were VERY minor and IO spent little time searching. I remembered he had gone to jail and on a hunch I searched inmate records. I found him! I sent a little note with only clues as to who I was incase he didn't remember me. To my surprise he did remember me and we continued to write. Like me, his life had lead him down broken roads and I learned he was married (unhappily). His wife was a small reason he endeed up in jail on drug related charges. My first letter to him was April 30, 2007. Since then we have written and now are hoping to reunite in December 2007 when he is released. His sister and I have become good friends and his letters to her about us are "like the old Jeff" she remembers. She believes his words to me are true and supports us getting back together 110%! He is in the proces of a divorce and has apologized more than once for how our relationship ended.
To him, my heart is now exposed! His letters touch me like no words I have ever heard and his thought on our feelings is that This happened for a reason and was beyond my thought or comprehension. I would love to think of it that way! It's been 20 years and I feel like I am floating. But I am unsure considereing where he is and the 20 lost years if this is what I hope it to be! I live in Maryland, he is in Texas (where I am from) I have a son in Texas, but no-one else. I am considereing relocating to Texas to be with Jeff, but I am scared and confused!!! I would like to think he is my Mr. Right and this chance is a 2nd chance! How many times does something like this happen to people and why us! His thought is we had a journey to complete b-4 we an be together and that is why things didn't work for us 20 years ago. Of all the people who have come into my life why him and why now?
Although I have looked for My One True Love for sooo long I can honestly say I the feelings I have thinking of him are worth every bad relationship I ahve had, and I would be willing to go through all the sadness and pain again just to feel the way I do now!

I am desperate for opinions and advise! Please help!

Like many people, you looked back fondly on this relationship from your youth and as a result, reached out to try and contact him. However, I would still be cautious with your heart. After all, you knew him back then but 20 years is a long time, and people can certainly change as time goes on. Before you pack up and move down there, you should spend some more time making sure he is the person you think he is and the one you want to be with.
