My Mini High School Reunion

Ten old friends met up at Brookside this Thanksgiving break. Some I haven’t seen in 2 years and others since the Union High School days (and that’s nearly five years ago). I sat down at the table and…

Friend 1: How are you?
Me: To sum up the past 4 to 5 years, good.
Friend 2: You’re not dead or pregnant…
Me: … so I’m good.

Everyone looked great and almost exactly how I remembered them, except one. I didn’t even recognize him for awhile, but the memories rushed back quickly enough. Everyone’s personalities and demeanors were the same to me too, perhaps slightly more refined and mature. As we all sat outside, we kept spotting Union grads that we haven't seen since high school too. It was a great idea to get together and to see everyone doing so well. It was a night of laughing at old memories, catching up on eachother’s lives, and strengthening lost friendships.
