Old Friends

Back when I was just shy of 17 years old we moved from Hawaii to Carson City. That was 26 years ago. I have not been back. Seeing friends from my life in Hawaii is not something that happens with the exception of Facebook.  Today I was doing some school work and instinctively checked my phone and found a message from Shey Lani Christiansen letting me know they were in Cedar and had just tried to stop by the restaurant to eat. We were closed today. I sent her a message asking if they were still in town and they were, eating at the Sizzler. I said I would come over. I called pops and told him and asked him to share that with Jim. I went over and enjoyed a sweet reunion with what was at one point of my life one of my closest friends. It was a sweet reunion with Vince Southon and his parents and of course Shey. I met Vince's family who I have only seen on Facebook. Oh my goodness, this was a great day, a wonderful reunion. There are some friendships that last a lifetime, there are friends that are very much family and that is how I felt today. It was great to see them and to catch up and to feel that bond from so many years ago still there, still strong.  I have thought about making a visit there someday, today made it apparent that this needs to happen.
