OK still hooked on Facebook - tonight had a pleasant surprise with one of my former classmates from Gillette stopping by (on the screen) for a little chat.
She and I sat by one another in choir during Junior High, she was always eccentric (in a good way) and I really enjoyed getting to know her and her good heart. She went through some tough times when we were in school - we all remember how cruel kids can be and unfortunately she was on the receiving end of more than her fair share. Through it all she has become an amazing woman with a family of her own and stories to tell.
We chatted about many things I had forgotten, the good, the bad and the very, very ugly. I found out one of my best guy friends from the tennis team committed suicide a year or so ago. I always wondered what happened to him, he had such big dreams, planned to go to Harvard, see the world. I am saddened by knowing he is no longer in this world.
We also laughed about some of the paths our classmates have taken with their lives. One is married to a satanist and lives in California - she was always after the shock factor and pretty much takes the cake.
Don't know if she will make it to the reunion (I have been invited BTW by the official committee).
My friend asked, "Do you think she will come? I wonder if she is a shape shifter?"
"Hmmm," I replied. "Bet she will be the black cat in the back of the room"
"Black cat, no way," she responded. "Bat, yes."
We had a good laugh and signed off, I still have a smile on my face. She was so kind and remembered me fondly.
She said that I was well liked and was kind to others - what more out of life could you want?
