new connection

Some old friends were visiting town this weekend with their kids. I’ve known them nearly 20 years but the last time we actually saw each other was about five years ago as they now live out of state.

I find it amazing, in a wonderful way, that within an hour of saying hello they were asking me how I am. Not just “how was work?” but really, deep down, am I ok. This surprised me, most people I know don’t really want to talk about things. I’m still on a bit of a high from our long talks (and our kids really hit it off. One of their daughters was shocked to learn that my daughter was adopted. The possibility never occurred to them.)

I don’t think we’ll wait five years to get back together, this is so much better than sharing pictures on facebook. I think I could use google to find Oklahoma…
