Last Saturday night, my high school had a 17 year reunion. Seemed a little odd that it was 17 years rather than 15 or 20. I went to my 10 year reunion and I remember that being a lot of fun. Anyway, I was hesitant about going to this reunion. I mean, i’m friends with a handful of people from high school and I feel like that’s enough for me. I guess I wasn’t sure what to expect, and in all honesty, I hate the “What have you been up to?” question.
In this picture below are my good friends since the seventh grade: Sue, Amy, and Pauline. What’s wonderful about our relationship is that we have all kept in touch for last 20 years, we’ve all gone through the same milestones (e.g. college, moved, marriage, children), and we get to see each other several times a year, usually at our kids birthday party. We don’t pick up the phone and talk to each other everyday, but when we do see each other, it’s like no time has passed. I always wish I had a sister, but my friendships with my girlfriends is like having a sister. I feel really close to them and feel that I can tell them everything about what’s going on in my life.
