Do you ever feel like you know someone really well, but never met them? In my case, my husband had a wonderful great grandma who lived with him and his family when he was younger. By the time we started dating, his beloved great grandma had passed away. I've heard so much about her that I feel like I know her even though I've never met her! Do you have anyone like this? Please share!

I know what you mean sometimes you hear so much about a person you feel like you know them even if you never met them,or never get to meet them,and one of my friends has a sister who I have never met but the way him and his mom talk about her whenever me and my wife are over there is it almost like I already know her since I have heard so much about her,and they do not get to see her often since this sister lives in a state kind of far away,but they told us if she ever comes to visit them then they will let us know,so we can come meet them,which I think it would be fun to meet them.

I think it's so neat how you can feel like you know a person just by what other people say about them. In your case, I'm so interested to know what you think of your friend's sister that you will have to come back to this discussion if you ever do meet her. That is really neat! In my case, the inspiration for this discussion is my husband's great grandma. She passed away about seven or eight years ago, but to hear my hubby, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandma, and sister-in-law talk about "Great Grandma Owen," I feel like I really do know her! They told me how much she would've loved me and how, if she were still alive, we would sit together and talk for hours. I'm so excited to meet my Grandma Owen in Heaven someday! I know it sounds weird, but it's almost surreal. Thanks so much for your response. I thought at first that there was no hope for this discussion, but then you came along and made my day! Thanks again so much for letting me share my inspiration of this discussion with you. Take care!

Hi HCB, since it's now been a year, were you able to meet your friend's sister in person yet? I surely hope you have so you can tell me all about it! That would be so exciting.

I am trying to think about this person in my life if I have this someone I have not met but feels as though I really know them... I think I have no one to this extent.
