thanks for that Dean. You put it very eloquently.
It takes guts to go on a public forum and express remorse.

That was a very brave way to open up. We all have things we need to deal with directly, and maybe that will help us do so. Thank you and good luck.

Cragman...Sh#t happens...We all go off on wild tangents and do stupid things in the name of pride which we may regret later....It seems the downfall comes shortly thereafter...? If you need some good ideas for some pranks watch Grumpy Old Men....rj

hey there say, dean... you know...this is what is known as loveing others, from god's standpoint--when our 'self' does not get in the way at all...
say, you are stepping up to, and onto, solid ground here...
edit: say, remember that part of a famous song:
lord lift me up and help me stand, by faith, on heaven's stable land...
a higher plane, that i have found, lord plant my feet on higher ground... :)
and you know what, this honest open share, of yours, will bless and humble many hearts... we are here to be friends in life, and sometimes being friends, means to die to ourselves, and live in such a way that others blossom... the blossoming only means that there is that much more sweetness, in our life, and we in turn, get rid of our 'stinky old petals' and we TOO then, are free to blossom and the 'ball rolls on'...
god bless to you, dean/cragman...
may you and doug now have many wonderful years being neighbors, as his body heals, and your 'share' here, heals, within you...
wow, supertopo sure is a place of very speical climbers... all taking many different climbs, but all knowing that the view is something mighty powerful and beyond us--though each new climb, makes sure to let us know, that, "the view is really there to cherish"...
god bless to you this eve...
say, this night, to your family, as they are the ones that see you daily, as you grow--you are NEW man...

There are a lot of mysteries in this life, but one thing I know for sure is that you don't get to redo the past. So keep your focus on the future, and keep helping your friend. That's what counts.

Regret is a useless emotion and every day presents new opportunity.
Thank you for sharing. I love your statement that transparency is part of the road to integrity.
Sometimes integrity demands that we part with old friends as well.
I'm glad that in your case, you were able to reunite.

Cragman,
You should draw strength from your humility and transparency, should all of us be so gracious with friends we have fallen out with.

Nice Dean.
I've had a couple falling outs that were recovered from and a couple that probably never will.
Good on you for making the effort to make this one go away....

A very touching read. I too have had differences with others & over time, I have rekindled those friendships with those whom I had really connected with in the first place.
Life is way too short to hold grudges.
Thanks for sharing some humility with us.

Cragman,
Maintaining any relationship takes effort and compromise, it's wonderful that you are now there for Doug.
