So thanks to the magic of classmates.com I recently got an email from someone I dated in High School. It was really wonderful to hear from her and find out that she is alive and well and making her way in the world with a lot of success.
Its funny, I always lamented the fact that some of the best people I*ve known over the years have drifted away from me. I know its my fault because I am really not good at reaching out to people who I don*t deal with every day but it is always a humbling experience for me when someone reaches out across a 5 or 10 year gap in communication and says “found your name online, hope you are doing well, drop a line sometime”. Seriously, what have I done to deserve that kind of place in someone*s memory? I don*t know, but I*m thrilled every time it happens and hopefully I can do a better job this time around of keeping in touch with some of the most amazing people I*ve met in my life.
