2.8.11 - Friends

February 8. 2011

Remember the old commercial for AT&T with the slogan "Reach Out & Touch Someone?"   That's what I did today.

Thirteen years ago I befriended a wonderful lady. Our children were born at the same hospital, on the same day, and almost at the same time.  I can't explain the fun we had together as our children went through all their baby/toddler milestones together.  As the years have passed, we had lost touch.  There was no rhyme or reason to it; it just happened.  Coming across her on Facebook one day, it jolted my memory and my heart strings so I invited her brunch.

We met today and within 30 seconds it was as if no time at all had passed.  I do believe everyone happens to come into your life for one reason or another; maybe you don't always know what it is, or what lessons you are to learn from one another, but I'm vowing to embrace this and act on it more often.
