I just found an old email from my boy, and it's interesting to compare and contrast the way we talked then to the way we talk now. The email is from 2000. We still sound the same.
I was on the phone when with him when I found them. I asked him if I should forward these emails to him, if only to embarass him. He said yes.
I'm not sure I want to. Especially the last one (there are four, from 1998-2000). It's pretty perfect. I don't want to know his thoughts on them.
Any advice? Especially from B.? I think she'd know exactly what I mean. Oh, Wade, as well.

Well, if you don't want to know his thoughts, you have two options: (1) don't send them, or (2) specifically tell him that you don't want him to say anything about them.
Knowing how you would probably become fixated on what his thoughts are, even if you told him you didn't want to know, I would probably not send them. That's the challenge to your self-control: can you control yourself enough to not send them? Can you alternatively control yourself enough not to ask? And do you trust him to not say anything if you ask him not to?
I suppose it goes back to the "litigator" question: do you ask the question you don't know the answer to? But what benefit would you gain from sending them?
I think I'm more insightful now than on the phone last night.
BTW, you are going to have an AWESOME time tonight! And try to remember that if you don't have expectations, they can't be let down. I love you and couldn't be more proud of you!
