After college, I found a rapidly shrinking circle of friends. Though I never completely fit in the circle, it was nice to be included. Maybe we were becoming busy with our own separate lives. Some distances existed without really knowing why.
Last night was a most welcome opportunity for reconnection, and I'm most thankful for being included. It has indeed been a very long time, too long. I was happy to see people again, and it's nice to know people were happy to see me.
Even though the person who invited me didn't show up, I am glad something wonderful came out of the couple of hours that I spent with old friends.
You know who you are... Thank you for the peace (and the pizza and beer). I may never know what exactly happened, or why we ended up so far apart -- and I spent years thinking about it. I'm thankful that I was able to chat with you a while, and hug a friend once again. It's nice knowing that you're happy, and I'm very happy for you.
You probably don't know who you are, or maybe you do... It's nice to see you again, though not much was said. Then again, we were always okay that way.
