You obviously enjoyed some very close knit relationships in your past. Old friendships are usually the deepest,
and even when you haven't seen one in years, there is that bond of time connecting you. I'm sure even though
you are confident in your current way of thinking, the experience of feeling those bonds of friendship, though in
the past, made you feel somewhat connected again. I attended a funeral a couple of years ago and got that
"old tyme" feeling. It was quickly dispelled, however, but a little twinge of sadness pricked at me just a tad and
for a brief moment I experienced the loss of those old friendships bound tightly together by "the truth". As time
goes by, more and more I come to believe it's a very courageous thing we do when we leave it all and journey on.
Excellent response letter, Terry. I'm sure it will make her think...if not now, perhaps later.
