Hmmm....you Karen you're right about the grass not always being green on the other side. I don't know about anyone else, but life has not been a bed of roses for me. I have had a lot of ups and downs. But through everything, the older I get the wiser I become. What was happening in my life for the '88 reunion was terrible. I didn't want to attend the '88 reunion because I had so many problems and so many situations that had happened in my life that I was ashamed of. I just couldn't face any of my classmates. I felt like a failure.
13 years later I feel totally different.
Today, I'm not worried about impressions or what people think of me and what I have done with my life. This isn't high school. I would hope we've grown into people that can be sensitive and aware of others feelings. I would hope we have grown into people that have that special touch of being able to reach out to another person and genuinely be able to enjoy the company of the person. I would hope that we have grown into people that don't use measuring sticks on people based on looks, financial status, class etc.
The emails I have exchanged with Lee, Karen and Rose have been warm and genuine. I have felt welcome and most comfortable and it has been a pleasure to catch up with these three classmates.
It's been good to go back home in the emails. As I have said before, it has been a very blessed and special time for me. Thanks, Karen, Lee and Rose. Thanks for giving me a piece of home.
Karen, it counds like Jay is hinting around that "Just Us" want a gig. *warm smile* I think a cameo appreance would be great.
Yes Jay, I know Dorothy and George were "married" in high school it was the happily ever after that came as a nice surprise.
