A Long Time

It was 1989 for Richard, Pete, & Sharon. It was 1990 for Steve Smith and Wild Thing.  It was 1993 for Buddy, Pilot Pete, Scott, Captain Mike, Sally, and Lynnel.  Do you see the pattern here?  Some great people have been in my life for 20+ years, and I consider them a huge blessing. This very discussion came up in the pool when we were in Cozumel.  There was a comment about how long some of us have known each other, and how unusual it is for that to happen.  For me, it gets back to the subject of bonding.

Yes, there have been gaps in those years where I did not see Sally, as she was living in Africa and South America.  I did not see Lynnel for years until she moved back to Houston.  Months have gone by where I did not see Pete & Sharon or Richard.  In all instances though, we still kept in touch and stayed connected.  Our respective purpose in each other’s lives is not always apparent, but there is always a purpose.  I believe there are just certain people that are destined to be in our lives for as long as we bounce around on this planet.
