My best friend from 14 to 43 - we raised our kids together but I moved 100's of miles away, kids grew and we fell out of touch. I hooked up with 2 old HS pals on FB. After an initial flurry of activity, we ran out of things to say. An old boyfriend (I was 18, he was 19) contacted me. All I could think was he was old and fat. Am I? Now I remember we disagreed a lot. We still do.

There's a reason those of your past stayed part of your past.
