Perhaps one of things I most envy about Barney and Andy staying in Mayberry
all their lives is that have been friends since early childhood. It means
they have shared all the joys and heartaches of being a child and teenager.
I so wish I was still best friends with someone I grew up with so I would
have someone to share all those common memories. I always enjoy the scenes
when Andy and Barney talk about things they did when they were kids. Right
now I am really working hard on trying to reconnect with many of my
childhood friends. I am having some great success thanks to classmates.com
and a few other searches that I have done. Just today I received two emails
from two close friends from my childhood that I haven't seen or heard from
in 45 years, and we promised we would stay in close contact. However, with
the joy of reconnecting with these two friends I also learned that another
very close school friend died unexpectedly this past summer. Other than my
siblings and two uncles, I really do not associate with anyone regularly
that knew me when I was young. So I am sure I have forgotten many important
events in my life. Barney and Andy were indeed so fortunate to have been
blessed with so much time together. I am so looking forward to
rediscovering more old friends from my past and rekindling some lost
memories of some wonderful days gone by.
