Good luck, I hope you get the response you're looking for.

I said something I shouldn't have to a dear friend in 1983. I have to say I didn't and still don't think it was bad enough for him to sever our relationship forever, but I made several attempts to apologize over the years and have never heard from him again. With the advent of the Internet, I know I could contact him again. But I don't see the point. It's still a little raw spot of regret in my heart.
