Way back when…who knew it would be so long…

• Until we would meet again?
• Before we would paint that bedroom?
• That we would live in this house (20 years)?!?
• To develop a family?
• Until we would have a totally different perspective of college?
• …it isn’t long, it was just yesterday!

Of all the things we didn’t think could happen, what is the most astonishing in your life?

• The people you knew better than yourself but haven’t seen in ages;
• The rooms that didn’t look quite so awful until someone moved out;
• The first house that might very well be your last;
• The children who were babies just yesterday, but are nearly all grown up;
• The fact that college was just another life that we lived and haven’t forgotten;
• That we would believe it was only yesterday.

Who knew it would be so long that we wouldn’t even ask these questions of ourselves. It would only be a moment, a day, a month, a year, five years – not a couple of decades. Now it is a lifetime with still more life to live, and seemingly full so far – thank goodness for that…
