I'm Thinking Of You

In just a few short days I will be seeing some people I have not seen in, well, 40 years.  Some I don't expect to see again.  You see it is our 40th year class reunion coming up.  When we were in High School and Seniors to boot, we could not have imagined being out of school for 10 years much less 40.

But that is how it goes.  We blink an eye and life is mostly gone.  For some of that class, life is totally gone.  As in any group of people we have lost some of ours to death already.  I think of them.

I don't get to see my family as often as I would like, my brother's having their lives and me mine.  My cousins are busy with their lives and managing retirement plans and businesses.  We are not as close as we once were but I think of them.

I see familiar faces in town at the store or at Little League Baseball.  People that I know I should know and whose names were once as familiar to me as my own.  Mostly I wonder if they remember who I am.  Some I am glad don't recognize me.  Admit it, you have people in your life like that as well.  I think of them.

I have a friend that will be doing my memorial service that I communicate with almost on a daily basis.  He is more than a friend, and I have trust in him to keep me laughing about something.  Mostly it is some out of left field that gets us all going and the giggles started.  I think of you.

All of these people I think of nearly on a daily basis.  Some on an hourly basis.  I don't tell them a lot that I think of them and that is a failing on my part.  So today, I want you to know that I am thinking of you.  Not for what you have done and will do for me.

If I have not told you lately, I just want you to know....... I'm thinking of you.



Until next time.................
