I was fortunate. That is really the only way I can say it. In High School I was fortunate to have a group of friends that helped define who and what I am today.

In the past month, we have started to reconnect thanks to the power of Facebook. It is odd how easily we slip back into the comfortable patterns of old times. Our conversations seem to have picked up right where they left off 20+ years ago. We’ve changed and grown, but we are still the same in many ways.

They are my family.

I didn’t know how much I missed them until they came back.
