Blast from the past

So I was sitting here writing up the second first-draft of our wedding guest list, when I get to S's name. There is a lot of history between myself and this particular guy, but we have somehow stayed friends through it all.. so yes, he will be invited. Some might look down on this particular choice, but he is actually one of the few people I have consistently kept in touch with over the years. Anyway.. as I was writing his name, up pops a FB chat message from him. My, how timing can be right on sometimes.

Remember my last post with all the nostalgia? Here came S, bringing it all back in words and just by his mere presence. Everything I wrote about and was thinking was being said (typed?) aloud. Again, with the timing. On the other hand, the past is all we really have to talk about now. I have found that with a few of the people I used to be closest to, this is how it eventually plays out. I'd rather connect about the present and the future, but sometimes the past is all you have. And you need those people to help you remember the good (and some not so good) times. I think it's good for the mind and soul, these memories.
