February 2011 my bride and I were invited to a 'get together' with friends from my previous 'work' place. Probably only 15 to 20 people there....but my oh my....it was great to see and to listen people talk!
There were friends there that had been there 28 years before. Audrey, Cleo, Carol were so nice to see that night! Anita, Karl, Todd, Lori....close friends for many years....very touching. Lisa, Christine....over the top....just some of the most favorite friends of all time! We left western Wisconsin 10 years before....and I was really happy to be back!
Everybody 'tried' to talk with me....and I listened....but didn't talk back much. The words I would want to say....I couldn't begin to get it out of my mouth. I have learned to be a much better 'listener' than I've ever been before. And sometime....when I do try to say something....I REALLY screw it up!
Time goes on....and everyone knows that! But time....just escapes me.
