FOF friend, Barbara, and I have known each other for over 25 years. My ex-husband, Douglas, worked for her husband, David, and the four of us became pals. We spent many funsy weekends with our kids at their lovely house in Westhampton. Barbara is a stellar cook and hostess.
Over the years, as our lives took new turns, I lost contact with Barbara, but my aunt Sylvia, who also worked for David for a long time, kept me up to speed on big events in Barbara and David’s lives.
I saw Barbara and David almost a year ago, when I went with Douglas to a dinner party at their house in New York. Douglas is now in a book group with Barbara. After the party, Barbara and I talked a few times, but again, we didn’t reconnect.
I was walking home from brunch this afternoon, when I ran into Barbara, as we crossed the street in opposite directions.

Over 30 years ago a business relationship turned personal.
Cathy and I had lots in common beside our work so our relationship blossomed. But, somehow we lost touch. FYI: neither of us can remember how it happened.
She had a dream about me 8 months ago and decided it was time for us to reconnect. Facebook to the rescue. There I was, she pinged me and we were both delighted!
We’ve picked up our friendship, as if time had not passed.
My daughers learned this song in grammer school. It’s so true:
“make new friends but keep the old
one is silver and the other is gold”
