I hemmed and hawed, went back and forth, trying to decide whether I should call him or not. Finally, after acknowledging the fact that I tend to regret things I don't do more than the things I do do, I decided to call.
So, with my heart pounding and hands shaking, I dialed his number. I couldn't really even figure out what I was going to say.
"The number you have dialed is no longer in service."
Ok, maybe I dialed wrong.
Nope.
Checked the phone book just to make sure, that's the number that's in there....
Ok, then....I called. Right?.....

You definitely called and unless you have an address and want to write a letter... I would consider it a sign.
And no inconvenience on the comment moderation. I do it for all of mine.
You did your best. So unless someone else gives you better contact info then you should let it go.
Carol,my youngest sis went through a similar situation in 2008. She found out that a man she had dated several years before she met/married her husband was dying, and with the ok of her dh, she called, and eventually went to see this man (during the last weeks of his life). He flattered her and told her that the biggest mistake in his life was in ever letting her go all those years before. Well, sis let that go to her head, and was actually considering leaving her dh for a dying man (to care for him during his last moments on the earth)!! Her dh caught on to what was happening, and it caused a great deal of grief in her marriage, which is still going on, even though that man died earlier this year. So even though your dh said he didn't mind if you contacted your old bf, it might be better if you let this go. You tried to contact him, you couldn't, so rest assured that you did your best.
