I'd sat you deserve that medal You're own personal ' badge of honor'
I would have definetly spoke to her , however.
My story doesn't measure up to yours , but a few years back I was at family fuction in a restaurant in New York .
A long haired blonde woman caught my eye while dining.
I got up from the table and wandered closer to her table. I was completely blown away when I realized who she was sitting with.
It was Diane ( Gervgirl ) with her long brunette hair up in a bun.
Returning to my table, I was bursting with secret excitement.
Later as she was leaving , I positioned myself by the bar to say hello.
My heart was pounding but I HAD to speak to her. Just then I realized. . . . . sadly she was grieving with the girl she was with.
Deciding not to interfere and respect her privacy , it turned into a fleeting moment.
She was kind enough later to respond to my e mail and acknowledge that it was indeed her
PS . . . . she is even more gorgeous in person
