Ok, just trying this out for the first time tonight. Thanks JL for telling me about this. I think its going to be very therapeutic for me. And entertaining.
I had the most fabulous blast from the past weekend. One of my best friends from middle school got married. So all at once I got to see over a dozen people I hadn't seen in 20 years. And it didn't even make me feel old. I just felt alot of love and validation. I felt validated that I was indeed a good friend in the past. People liked me, and missed me. I had a lot of insecurities growing the only child of a single mom. My relationships with other people mean so much to me becaause I never had a family. (Save for my very wonderful Mom.)
I got to show off my beautiful 4.5 year old daughter. She was the life of the party. She was the last minute flower girl and was just thrilled to be there, with all mommies' "new" friends! It was the best wedding I have been to in a long , long time. There was a lot of love in the room. Tears came to my eyes several times over.
JL it was so very good to see you again. I had always wondered what became of you after I had to move away. When we come to the beach this summer we will definitely come see you!
Love, Echo
