smittenbyuYesterday, N and I were helping FIL call up his friends who reside in the USA. Every phone call he made (3-4 of them) started off with, "Hi. This is so-and-so and I was in the graduating batch of 1960-something!" followed with a small anecdote or nicknames they had for each other. whoa.
N and I wonder will we be calling up our long lost friends and talk to them after 30+ years of lost contact? On Facebook, I sometimes have a tough time remembering classmates from just 10 years ago!! But I imagine these friends he is calling were much closer in friendship than the ones I have forgotten from ten years ago.
And of course, in all the excitement, FIL wants to go see them all, failing to realise how big this country is and how long it takes to get from one place to the other! It was sad to see the disappointment in his face.
We will however be seeing one of them when we are in the Southwest! That will be nice encounter to witness.
