No. 18...Man I'm quick!

So, I haven't even come up with all 101 things, and I've knocked number 18 off the list. I sent my ex an email, asking why he reappeared after 7 years. He sent me a reply, saying that he never really meant to hide, and he wishes that he had been there for more (any) of Ian's life. Not sure how much I trust, but I feel better having asked.
