I had kids soon after I was married. Between work and raising kids I lost focus on other stuff like staying in touch with friends. My parents needed a lot of care too, which compounded my withdraw from parts of my life. Now, the kids are grown. The bounds I had with many friends remained and I wondered what happened to them. I went back to my college after 40 years. I just had dinner with a friend who was the best man at my wedding. I hadn’t seen him for 25 years. We picked up where we left off and it was great to see him. We asked ourselves, where has the time gone. If I can make it a habit to continue these reconnections, I know I will enjoy it, but the reunion is bitter sweet. Reuniting will not undo the years of lost time together. But it’s better to have some joy and not only bitterness. It be worse looking back on my life and having never reconnected. So, I’ll forge ahead, trying to make the best of the time I have today.
