I remember stories my brother told me about his class reunion. He told me how everybody's appearances have changed over the years. Some were some who had gained weight when they were chiseled while others had gone bald when they had the best hairstyle in the batch. Some had struck rich while others are still struggling. Yet when they meet, time stops and the past comes alive again and for one night, they were back to being high school kids again. When comes to remembering how people were back then, Sister Sledge's song "Frankie" comes to mind.
It's not surprising if we all wondered how people we knew are doing today. More when they left a deep impression on us. Sometimes we still think when we meet them after a long time, they'd still be the same. It's big surprise how times changes us physically. Still that bond from the past erases all physical appearances and we still the same person that we met a long, long time ago. It goes when you sit with that person and talk about the good times.
A lot of times when I bump into old acquaintances, one good change about them is that they always greet you with a smile and pull you aside for a nice chat. As you talk, they appear the same and time stands still. Even if it was just for a few minutes, it takes the years away as well as the pressure. No matter who a good pal changes physically, they're the best buds that I knew from the past and when they smile and want to spend time with me, I know they feel the same way. Nice to know that they remember you for who you were in the past.
