A Month of Reunions

Where do I even start? This has been a month of reunions. Early in the month I drove a couple hours north and two of my very old friends (we have known each other since our pre teen years) drove a couple hours south.. they live in Canada and we had a mini reunion in Upstate New York. 

The friend on the left I hadn't seen in over a decade. We went out for dinner.. talked into the wee hours of the night and shared a breakfast before heading back home and vowed to not wait another ten years before we meet again. 

Then M's cousin was flying in from Californian and visiting some friends in New York around the same time my cousin was flying in from London. So we made an evening of it. I brought the boys into the city after school, M is already in the city for work and we met his cousin (who we hadn't met since she was 10) for a late coffee.

Afterward we met two of my cousins for dinner. One already lives in the city and we meet occasionally and the other was visiting from London who I hadn't seen in probably 9 to 10 years! Though with the presence of social media it doesn't feel like so much time has past. We are always able to see what the other is doing, we comment and dm so that when we meet after so long it feels like no time has passed at all, the conversation flows smoothly.

Before I lived in New Jersey I lived in Pakistan but before I lived in Pakistan I lived in Chicago. My family and I lived there till I was 10 years old. A couple of years ago a girl I went to elementary school with way back then found me on Facebook. Just last week she found a picture of us with another friend from fourth grade and shared it. 

It was such a blast from the past.. what a find! Those early years are such a blur to me.. many memories fuzzy. So I was so happy to see this treasure.
