Next Saturday I will be attending my 50 year class reunion. I am so excited to return home and spend time with people that I grew up with. I will be having the privilege of giving my Mayberry Power Point presentation to my classmates. I have spent a lot of time this week tweaking it with old school photos and music and video clips that will really personalize it for my old friends. This morning I received the list of those attending. Needless to say I was very disappointed to find out that my former high school girlfriend will not be there. Oh well, at least I won't have to worry about breaking up a marriage. But it was sad to discover that less than half our class will be coming. Many of my former really good friends have never attended any of our reunions every five years. It seems they were so ready to forget where they had come from. A number of them still live in our hometown, yet they choose not to attend the reunion. As for me, I treasure the memories of my childhood and youth and the small town where I once lived as I realize how important they were in making me the person I am today. I think those who will not be there are missing so much. I realize one cannot turn back the clock, but I feel it is such a shame to miss opportunities to spend time with old friends.
I just hope I don't break down and cry during my presentation. Us Andersons are so sensitive.
