Friends in time and space

 

At Tim HoWan, Smegamall,Mandaluyong 
Metro Manila

Two weeks ago,

I  have been busy about my  

 day when in one afternoon, I  

received a message from messenger  

 inviting me to a dinner date of a get together   

with classmates  during my senior high school.  

I was reluctant at first, but when I learned    



that the one who organized our dinner was   

my long lost close friend, 

 I agreed to come. 

When you realized that you will be seeing  

the people during teen-age life, there  

are mixed emotions and things that goes  
across  the mind.    









I was wondering if how do they   

look like by now, after four decades ? 

How about their insights from 

their adventures as they explored life ?
would they be happy to see me ?  

How I wish I won't mess around if

I won't be able to call each one of   

them by names except by the few ?      










 

  

 

       I was excited to meet them although
 I was a bit quite unsure of the outcome of 
 meeting them again
except  the one who called for the invitation. 

  Me and my son arrived to the venue a little early, 
I was happier upon seeing my batch mate's gaze of  warm welcome to us, as John and his family 
approached us. 
    

 

Our dinner date that night was filled with   
jokes, laughter, fun and endless
talks of our past during high school days. 
Some were surprised to recall that

we've even been classmates when we  

 were in the second grade!

In our lifetime,  

there are  people from our younger years where we stayed in their hearts in time and space   

regardless the fortune they gained and the

long decades that has passed. 

I never thought that John, would hold the  

cross over for his batch mates to reach and get together again ! 

My pet serves as a crossover for my family 
 and friends to have a reason to be happy  
all the time !
