Seems to be a theme this year
It’s turning out to be a reunion-y kind of year: my 10-year high school reunion; a housewarming with long-lost grade school friends; a message received out of the blue from a one-time close friend-turned-faded memories; a house party that could have doubled as yet another high school alumni reunion; and an upcoming trip to see college friends and reconnect with the city that still holds prisoner my heart and my imagination. I’ve tripped down memory lane too many times to count.
The lesson I’m learning, it seems, is that no matter how much time passes, for better or for worse, some memories are still as potent as they were when first formed. And goodbyes never get any easier.
