Old Friends
Old Friends.
Say what you will about Facebook - it has allowed me to reconnect with several old friends. When I met Gene in 1970, he introduced me to all his friends in San Diego. For a very short time in 1974, we lived in San Diego - something I don't like to think or talk about because it wasn't a good time for me or our marriage. While living there, I spent lots of time with Mage - enjoying her company and life style.
After returning to LA in 1974 and repairing our relationship, Gene and I would take short trips to San Diego to visit Mage (and of course Don). Fast forward to 1980 we move to San Diego so I could attend San Diego State. From 1980 through 1989, Mage and I become closer friends. Then I met Dennis and well to be honest Mage & George didn't like him very much. And after Dennis and I got married we moved to Denver for a year and then moved back to L.A. I tried to keep in touch with Mage but well, for several reasons, she never really reciprocated So we lost touch.
When I learned that our friend Dan de Llamas had died -- I sent Mage a message and we have now reconnected via Facebook. She married George and has been become a grandmother (just like me). We now correspond quite a bit and I read her blog daily. We hope, one day, to visit in person.
Through FB I have been able to find old school mates - a couple I went from kindergarten through high school. I have just fond memories of these people and am enjoying talking to them on FB. I'm marvelling in the adults they have become.
As I get older, I cherish these people because they are a connection to my younger self. They remind me, on the whole, of good times. Yes sometimes there weren't fun things that happened when I was growing up but that's ok. I'd rather remember the fun things we did together.
