I graduated high school 45 years ago. What you wrote is exactly right. Every so often I get to see an old classmate or two, and I stay in touch with some via Facebook. Our faces our older. No one cares if you lettered in sports or were Homecoming Queen. There is something wonderful about seeing the unfolding of the lives of my friends in their weathered faces. This piece touched me. Thank you.
