Today Meredith revisits an episode from the vault that features her high school boyfriend. She offers some new perspective – and fun updates.

Meredith wanted to take a closer look at this story because of 18-year-old Lyla, our most recent guest, who explained her own high school breakup.

In this one, there are lessons, laughs … and some new perspective.

Enjoy revisiting former loves, and remember, Love Letters is also an advice column. Send your questions about relationships to loveletters@boston.com.
