High school seems like a million years ago, but I just got off the phone (after a three hour +) conversation with a very dear friend of mine from elementary, junior high, high school and college. WOW!! A flood of memories came back to us and we laughed and talked as if 15 years had not flown by. AMAZING.....what is it about those childhood friends that we just can't forget but very rarely make that effort to connect with? Why do we not touch base with them more often? As I was talking to the Snake (her actual high school nickname) I started realizing that maybe we stay away from childhood friends because we sadly know that life will never be that innocent and carefree again and that we know we will miss it more if we dare to connect with these friends and reminisce. Hmmm, something to think about.
We really were a unique and great group of friends. I still miss and love these people dearly and they are certainly quite an integral part of the man I have become. I think I will make a greater effort to connect with these people and include them in my life. They were important then and they are important now!
Signing off I remain then, now and forever,
Tumbleweed (my actual nickname)
