Had such a fun visit with my high school friends. I was so lucky to be part of this friend group in high school, innocent smart nerds. We weren’t the cool kids but we didn’t care at all about that.
One friend brought some old letters she had saved. Apparently, after we graduated high school, we were pretty good at writing letters to each other (for you youngsters out there, long distance phone calls were way too expensive and the internet hadn’t been invented yet, so we had to actually put pen to paper and put letters in the snail mail to keep in touch after we scattered to different states and countries). The letters were clever and funny, testaments to friendship that has survived all these years since.
Half my friends are retired now. We’re getting older, and sometime soon I imagine we’ll start losing people, which is a sobering thought. Cherish the people in your lives.
