RE: Book By Covers

It's only those engaged in close interaction with you that could have known you weren't the same person, even without knowing you had a stroke, they could have inferred it from your behaviors.
That's one of the reasons we shouldn't make quick conclusions about people. That's also the very reason I'd be hesitant to reconnect with an old friend, because I'm not sure what negative changes they'd undergone. A lesson: You can't judge a person or a thing by looking just on the surface, you've got to look deep.

But if we understand that people change, that connection becomes an experience of discovery, rather than one of assumption. Maybe it is better to connect and accept that people change, for better and worse. At least then we aren't holding images about people in our heads that are no longer relevant.
