The Days Dreams Were Born

Class reunions, while avoided by many, are in my opinion one of the highlights in a year chocked full of ups and downs. You gather with folks who still see you as the person you were twenty, thirty or even fifty years ago. Our physical appearances may have changed (More for some than others) and it may be necessary to wear name tags, but once you hear them laugh....they become the classmate of old. There were secrets, favorite songs, a shared school spirit and even though we may not have admitted it back then, there was love. As we approach the Autumn of our lives, we need to take advantage of every opportunity to travel back with old friends to a time when dreams were born and share the details of our trip to today and remember with honor those whose journeys were cut short.
