Long-lost Friend

I met this young man on our annual family vacation in 1981. We spent some time together that week kicking butt and taking names in the fishing department. Wrote letters back and forth a couple times and then lost touch.  Never saw each other again.  Cross posted on a Facebook page of mutual interest about a year ago and "found" each other-had a short conversation and did a bit of reminiscing about the past and catching up on each others lives.  Found out that we have lived 8 miles apart for the past 24 years. This September decided we needed to get together.  Met at a local restaurant and had a blast.








It was like yesterday and not 32 years later. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the four of us had been life long friends-we had that much in common.  There are some people who cross your path in life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. I guess we get a bonus on this one.  We're all talking about going on vacation together next summer to our favorite place. You guessed it.  D.I.

That is just so cool! I can't believe you were only 8 miles apart.
