The Kindness of Gathering Old Friends

"You don't have to have anything in common with people you've known since you were five.  With old friends, you've got your whole life in common."
~ Lyle Lovett

A friend from elementary school recently invited seven of us for dinner.  The organizer lives in another city, so she took the opportunity of being in town to set up our getting together.  Several of us graduated together from high school, but two or three left the school before then, although we continued to see each other.  I appreciate not only the friend who organized the reunion, but also everyone who is making the effort to attend.  While we may not be family, in many ways we grew up together and have quite a shared history.
