Facebook reunited me with a long-lost childhood friend recently. 11 years ago, I misplaced her address, we both moved long distances, then took on our beaus' last names. I had all but given up hope that we'd ever cross paths again. And suddenly, here we are... 'Tho in new places surrounded by new people and likely with different interests, we're still held together by the enduring, albeit dusty, bond that we shared as best friends in grade school then for over 12 years when oceans separated us. Who knows how close we'll grow in the years to come, but this pleasant reminder of our friendship and those more innocent times stirred something dormant in me,...an appreciation for things that have changed and other things that have remained the same.
