Wonderful how you connect finding old friends with reconnecting with our original selves - which I believe is an underrated part of human development at our stage of life. Thank you for sharing this!

Lovely piece! I have always treasured my old friends, from elementary and high school, some of whom I stayed in touch with through the years. Then along came Facebook, which, for all its faults, really made a difference, allowing me to reconnect with people like my best friend from 1st grade who moved to the Oregon woods in 1979. I've rediscovered her as a wonderful writer with a fascinating life, and still a true friend.
