Friends Forever!

So, the mysterious' Sherry's & my past. Somewhere we were inseparable. We were friends outside of work & we had a professional part also, being that we had worked together in the same school district as well as the same school. School outsings; we were there day & night. We were even the bride & groom at one of the fashion shows to raise money for the kids. (If the kids or our collegues knew about my personal life) The weekends were another story. We would have dinner someplace & then go to the clubs afterwards, practically all night, if friends weren't having parties at their houses. I remember one year for Thanksgiving, we even made an attempt at 9pm to drive to Atlantic City. The traffic was too heavy so we decided to turn around and go home and party. (of course in these days we didn't have mapquest.com, it was all maps in hand)

I went off on an exit into some Bronx neighborhood & thought we were going to be killed. Two white people in a fancy car in a gang neighborhood getting stares. You can't imagine what we were thinking.... Somewhere, luckily it was Thanksgiving & maybe the people in the street felt sorry for us suspecting we were lost. lol Parties at family get together for birthdays & holidays were special. After I bought the house on Long Island, I had offered Sherry & Jen (her daughter) to move in with me. Sherry had a 1 bedroom apartment & Jen had the only bedroom & Sherry opted to sleep on her pull out sofa. After considering the option, Sherry thought that it would be best for Jen & her to stay alone as a family. The offer always remained open if Sherry & Jen ever changed their minds.

We're picking up from where we left off through e-mails & Facebook (when I learn how to use it & not remove or add something that shouldn't be there), and plan to get together in the spring when I go back to the states to "finally" move the NY house contents to the Florida house. It will be great to be together again.

Sherry & Jen; My Friends from so long ago....

I am very Happy Today.
I thought that our contact was lost forever! I managed to locate my friend Sherry through a school bulletin I found on line. I e-mailed & she e-mailed back. We worked together in the same school years after high school graduation. Sherry was my "party buddy" on weekends & I was hers.
Oh how I remember the Jagermeister Shots at the bars. The partying would go on into the night & the fun & laughs & secrets we had. We were each other's Confidant & always watched out for each other.
We haven't been in touch since I left New York over 10 years ago.
Today, I was reminising of those days so long ago of the "special friendship" we shared. We were always there for each other & we were only a phone call away or a 10 minute car drive to each other's homes. During the 10 plus years, I never forgot Sherry or her daughter Jen who is now 16 years old. I saw pictures of her today & the reality of time passed, has hit home.
We have so much to catch up on & I can't wait! I e-mailed Sherry back, but, 10 plus years of being absent in each other's life can't be sumized in one e-mail.
I'll update the progression of our rekindled friendship. Wow!
