small world

I just got off the phone with a friend from our Germany days.

I've thought of her often over the years.

We were worlds apart when we were in Germany together;

she a confident homeschooling 'older' mother,

me a young know-it-all snob.

I could have learned so much from her,

but I was too stupid to see that at the time.

I've wished, many times, that I would have allowed her

to befriend me and teach me.

But I didn't.

I mean

she was weird.

Yet, here I sit

twenty years later

weirder than she could even hope to be!

Anyways

I finally got up the gumption to call.

I wasn't sure if she'd even remember me....

Apparently

I am unforgettable :-)

And

their grown children

are living about three hours away!

from here!

and have been for the past several years....

It really is a small world

after all.
