Reunited

friendsA friend came home from Europe last month and became the excuse for late night outs, getting drunk and being foolish.  It’s been a long time since I get together with my best friends, (the ones I have since kindergarten) and I realized just how changed we all are now.

Woodie and his wife Joanne have found a better life in Greece.  They came home for their son’s 7th birthday. Juvy and Bimbo now have two kids.  Me-an has a nine-month-old baby girl. She is now studying to be a nurse. Jheng is three months pregnant. Larry and I are married and my job has now become the center of my life.

The funny thing is, however different we are now today compared to how we are in the past, we still like each other.  When things get really bad, they are the first ones to be there, children in tow.

I wonder how many people have friends like that: the kind of friends who have seen your very worst but have stuck with you the longest.
