I was thinking of these wonderful women tonight. We grew up together and after losing touch after high school,(yes, even my cousin), we finally had a mini-30th class reunion last year..
As we were all sitting at the restaurant and began catching up on marriage, divorces, children, careers and just plain life, we started talking about high school and it was as if we picked up where we left off. I didn't realize just how much I have missed them. And as we were sitting there, I didn't see us as the age we are now, but the 18 year old full of life and nothing could stop us, but I think we all feel that way in our youth. We would take the world by storm and take no hostages.. It's funny how life throws us curve balls. We had so many plans, I was going to be a famous actress or model and be married to... well, they all know who.. :), one wanted to be a photographer, one a dental hygienist and the others had their plans. Again, that dang curve ball. Life just takes hold and things are pushed back until we look up and time has passed by.
Since that day, we try our best to talk or text as much as we can.. (thank goodness for the devices we have now, when we were in school no cells, no computers) and plan on getting together for our 50th birthdays coming up next year, I can't wait.
It has been an honor knowing these amazing, talented women and as we grow older, I hope there are many more memories to share and make. So glasses up for Jackye, Lysha, Denise, Vickey, Peggy, Alissa and to our lasting friendship. I have missed you and I love you.
My point--- keep those who are dear close to you and by chance you lose your way....... Remember that which once was old can be new again...
Thanks-------
