This is real ghost stories online.

Connections that we have with other people in this world.

Sometimes emotions will come up when they shouldn't.

In our next story, we hear of such a thing.

Someone who's in a relationship.

With someone else who's in a relationship,

just innocently, you know, kind of flirting,

and dancing together at a wedding

and realizing there's more feelings there than either can act on.

And they never do.

And eventually it becomes too late.

Did they do the right thing?

Take a listen.

Out of all the ghosts I've met in my life,

this one is the hardest for me to talk about.

It strikes me deeply and involves feelings and memories that I'd rather not remember

at times. It happened in the spring of 1994. In fact, it was May. Life was very hard going then.

I was working two jobs trying to attend school part-time. My marriage was going through its rough final stages, and unknown to me at the time I was suffering from the end stage renal disease, which would result years later with having to have a kidney transplant. The simplest things of the day took curriculum effort to get done.

Every night I'd go to bed, exhausted, hoping that the next day would never come.

My wife and I had little or no social life outside of her large family.

We were constantly getting together for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and parties.

I like this part of our relationship.
