My sister and I hosted somewhat of a high school reunion for about a dozen girls from high school. I hadn't really seen any of them for about 20 years. But thanks to Facebook and my sister Ann's tenacity, the girls from Villa were reunited.
I couldn't help thinking how I spent so much time with these girls during such an impressionable part of my life, yet I never chose to keep in touch with them. In considering the places I worked and the cities I've lived in, there are so many people who played fairly significant roles in making me the person I am today. Yet I don't speak to them either.
So what does this say about the people I know today? Will they also drift away? I think not. I think the older you get, the more you want and need those people with you.
I have a very few close friends who have been with me for a long time. I will not lose them.
