Suddenly

I was amazed when I opened my email this morning. A note from a friend mentioned that she had been introduced to a couple Sunday morning. On learning a little bit about them, she realized that I probably knew them. She was right. Think about this -- I haven't seen these people since 1980 -- a lifetime ago.

In itself it's probably not that amazing, but couple it with the fact that in the last two weeks or so, I've discovered high school classmates living only blocks away from me. I haven't found out if they ever moved away, but I sure did. Nebraska, Michigan, Iowa, then finally back to Illinois and my hometown. Haven't seen them since 1965 -- is that two lifetimes ago?

Donna titled one her posts "Expect the Unexpected." It helps if you have a hint as to what might be coming your way. In this case I guess I'm expecting to hear more voices from the past.
