I had an old friend/roommate from college find me on Facebook... one who owes me about $1200 for the nervous breakdown she had during college that caused her to drop out... move back home... and punk out on the end of our lease. My reply was... "Lovely to hear from you. Glad you're doing so well. You still owe me $1200.00 for the apartment. Remember that? I had to sell my TV and stereo and half of my CD collection to pay your share of the rent for three months." Somehow her wanting to catch up didn't extend to debts. I didn't want to "Friend" her... because no matter what... there was that baggage there that wasn't going to work itself out... no way... no how until I saw a check in the mail.
Whatever is going on in his life... whether he joined a "12 Step" club... his GF is pregnant... or he's converted to Fundamentalist Zoroastrianism... he was thinking about you and realized he needed to apologize to make "it right." He did it. You can either forgive him... or not.... and tell him... or not... but rarely does rekindling old relationships work out well.... especially if there's a "balance owed" emotional... or monetary. But it has given you the opportunity for closure... and that's usually a good thing to have.
