A Friend Revisited


I met Dean when I was on a family vacation in Florida when I was in high school.  I have not seen him since 1982 when I lived in Oak Park, Illinois.  I was still in college.  He had just gotten out of the Army.  He must have rejoined the Army because in his email he said he was retired from the Army.  I googled him and he is still running in races.  He must not be 50 lbs overweight like I am.  

At least I am the same person inside, but actually I am not.  At the core I am still the same person, but I have blossomed.  I am more outgoing and a better conversationalist.  I'm happier too.  I wonder what he has been up to?  He wanted to be a chef.  I wonder what he did in the Army?  He is now self-employed.  I wonder if he has a restaurant.  He wants to talk but I want to exchange emails.

Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult was very good.   A great read!
