ABOUT FACE !

One ofthe greatest desires as a human being is to "belong".
Im happy that I belong to this class of 79.

Most of us who attended that occasion  could attest the joy and
excitement as we "reunite" with our former friends.

As we age, friends come and go
for every new chapter in our lives, a friend comes along.
But somehow we could always relate to an old friend.

No matter how many years had passed,
how many small and big truimphs we have encountered
how many failures and trials we experienced
nothing compares when shared to a friend from way back.

I hosted the reunion of our  class last October 30.
It has been 32 years since we graduated from Elementary at  St Marys Academy.

 When we saw each other it felt nostalgic.
We were like school children reminiscing those good old carefree days.

We all looked back and laughed.

We may have added a lot of years in our face, got some wrinkles here and there
But memories were vivid in our minds.
I could still see the face of each one as a young child.

The boys from our class grew some belly and lost some hair but they're still the same... naughty , funny and bullies!

While the girls were still talkative as usual. Though I think we have not aged as much as the guys from our group : ) Im sure I'll get a protest from this comment....because we're still menstruating!!!

Everyone was happy and shared where their lives had taken them.

Learning about each other and seeing where  we have all gone was the best part of this reunion.

 It really was a blessing to be reconnected to old  friends and revisit memories that only us could have shared.
