Old Friends

This past weekend I attended a reunion at Lake Sinclair with a group of people that I went to photography school 30 years ago.  Over the last 30 or so years I have kept close touch with a few, but many others have moved on and we have lost touch till a few years ago when we all found each other on Facebook.  We have gotten together three times now over the last three years, each time more people find out about it and join us and this was the biggest and best yet.  It is so funny how we can all go our different ways and into many different professions but when we come together it is like time stood still and we can pick up right where we left off.  One of them said it best describing it like this, "it's kind of like resuming a conversation we started 29 years ago".  While we have all gone our separate ways and are doing many different things in our lives now they are all some of my dearest friends that I have many fond memories of.  After 30 years they are still the people you always know that you can count on if you need them with just a phone call or a email.  I often think about my girls and hope and pray that someday they will have memories and friends that they can say that about.
