Today I spent time with one of those people and her family. Jenna and I met at Area E Alternative School (later renamed Mid-City) in Los Angeles when I was in 5th grade. Perhaps we drawn to each other because we had the same skinny, gangly, awkwardness that young girls hope to forget in their later years. Whatever it was, we enjoyed sleep-overs and and playing in "the pit" and lamenting the fact that our younger siblings were difficult.

And today we connected again as adults. As adults with husbands and children and aging parents. With lots to talk about and memories to share.
It was wonderful to reconnect. Thank you Facebook!
