Class Reunion

When I was 17 and Junior in High School, 

my family moved to Yuba City California.

I was devastated.  

How could they take me away from my friends?

How could they take me away from Idaho?

Well, I survived and am always invited to the Idaho class reunion

even though I didn't graduate from Twin Falls.

I've never been able to go, but this year,

I could.

It blew my mind.

People would talk to me and I would have no idea who they were.  

We wore name tags that had our names and Senior pictures on them.

I found myself looking at the name tags and

 wishing we were wearing them on our forehead.

I wondered if I ever talked to anyone at school,

because none of them seemed familiar to me.  

After we left,

I threw my tag away.

I decided that 41 years ago,

I moved and have  never had anything to do with 99% of these people.

Why do I want to re-connect now?  

I don't.

The class facebook page was flooded with

pictures and wonderful words of love.

It was me.

I just didn't feel the love.

Live and learn.
