Old Friends

Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold.

An old friend from high school died last night. I hadn't seen her for 30 years, but a couple of years ago she came home and we all got together for a brunch. It was a fun to see her again as well as all my other high school pals.

We emailed back and forth for awhile and then no one heard from her. We wondered if she had a recurrence of cancer, but didn't know. This summer we heard she was fine, and over the weekend we find out she is dying.

Good that we made the time when we did. One last connection after 30 years and it was like we had seen each other yesterday.

Rest in peace Marie... I will always remember the tries at encounter groups in the cabin in the woods on New Britain Avenue. Say hello to Joi... I am sure you two will connect.

God Bless.
