Before internet times I had a girlfiend that i often called. That was our main connection. After our breakup(dont remember how that happened) I lost her number and forgot her last name. She could be dead and I wouldn’t know.

It's sad, but a fate every human has to deal with. Our modern communication allows us to keep in touch much easier. In the not too distant past, it was very easy to lose all contact with friends and family and go decades before reconnecting.
