old friends

Sometimes there are people in our lives who you remember no matter where the road has taken them. I have a few friends like that. You keep them in your thoughts and prayers no matter what. You may have only exchanged occasional cards as the years have gone by, but they still hold a part of you. Sometimes you think of them daily and hope that someday you can reconnect.

I have one particular friend like that. I worked with him over 20 years ago..GASP..I'm getting old. We worked together at Christmas and it was something that has been forever imprinted on me. Every Christmas that I have celebrated since I have thought of him.."The Ghost of Christmas Present" and the others that I hold in my heart from that time. I give a silent toast and wish them all health and happiness.

Then suddenly one day..you find that this long lost friends will be in your area..even working the same place as your dear husband. You must send a note to reconnect and hope that he too remembers with fond memories.

Here is to old friends. May they forever warm your heart and give you a smile on a cold winter day. May we all have the chance to reconnect. Friends are happiness, support, love, and life!
