This past Saturday was a really good day. With all the medical problems that I have endured this past year I had a real good day. What made it so good you ask? Maybe you don't ask but I am going to tell you anyways. Cindy and I went to Auburn, AL and watched the Auburn football homecoming game. But that was not the best part of it. After 30 years I came across the girl, now woman, that I dated my senior year in High School. We had a very good, but short, reunion of sorts, if you want to call it that.
Now before you say anything I should give a little background. First off, when we met and d
ated we were living in northeastern Ohio. I was a senior and she was a junior and we attended different, RIVAL, schools. We ended our relationship because of me. With me getting ready to go off to college in Tennessee and her staying in Ohio, I wanted or felt the need to expand my horizons. You know, that silly thinking coming from a high school kid. Anyways it was a good breakup, as we did not talk bad about each other nor were we ever negative about our relationship. This past June I received a message from Classmates.com from Cheryl. It was like, WOW, never thought I would ever hear from her again. I replied and we actually starting catching up by way of E-mail. It was really fun to catch up. Anyways while on Facebook I saw that she was going to the Auburn game this past weekend also, she has a daughter in attendance at Auburn. I left her a message on Facebook saying we should get together if at all possible. Phone numbers had already been exchanged so making the meeting happen was a very good possibility.
Cindy and I were walking around and had some time to kill prior to the game so I told Cindy that I was going to give Cheryl a call. It just so happened
we were really close to each other at the time of that call. We were walking towards each other, talking on the phone, when we glanced up and saw one another. That was really a cool feeling. As far as I am concerned she has not changed all that much from 30 years ago other than looking like a mature woman. And this is a good mature look. So anyways we all four got together and had a burger. Cheryl and Mike, her husband, with Cindy and I. I want to thank both Mike and Cindy for allowing us to sit and yak at each other for the short time we had. Though we did not get to visit about everything, we were able to see each other. It was very nice. I even was able to give her a great big hug.
So what about seeing someone from your past. Whether it be an old girlfriend, classmate, best friend, or just friend, how you end that friendship the last time you see them means so much for that next time you may come across them. Always being positive, straight forward and honest means that you can look at the person the next time and have a great reunion. At the college reunion there were those there that I did not have great relationships with. When we saw each other we did not even acknowledge each other. Then with those that I had good or great relations with we were able to pick right up where we left off. I guess what I want to say with all this is, If you are in any type of relationship it is important to end that relationship in the best way possible, as you may see them again and you want it to be positive. We all grow up and mature lets make sure our social skills have done the same.
