Many years ago, I worked with a theater company and had a minor tussle with the director, causing me to leave. I regretted it because we had genuine respect and affection for one another. But it happened and I left ....but never made it right.
Fast forward 30 years: She now lords over a beautiful theater built from the ground up. Her theater is a Chicago mainstay and she is truly doing AWESOME things. Yesterday, I went to the theater and saw a great show as well as saw the new structure -- which is a monument to her tenacity. Luckily, she was there.
We hugged and I complimented her on her success. Suddenly, 30 years were washed away as we exchanged numbers, pleasantries and vowed to pick up where we left off. We didn't have to apologize because the vibes were so positive. The looks we exchanged were genuine.
But, there is a lesson in that: I was too immature to do the right thing then but I'm poised to make it right now.
