chance encounter on a weird 3rd Friday of the 10th month in the 61st year of my life
out shopping
ran into an old
friend
lost track of
the years
( life happens)
"How long has
it been?"
"Jesus!
That long?"
we began
to laugh,
because we were
both still
alive

Dear BK,
Chance encounters such as this play with my head after we’ve parted and finished whatever else was intended for that day. I always tend to wonder why after such a long period of time was it necessary for me to see them again? Then I decide it’s to shut me up on my getting older process because I won’t believe how they’ve aged.
(In my defense I didn’t say my response would be intellectual and mature😉). Love the write.

Well look at that! We're the same age, Kitts! The only difference is that I hate shopping! Of any kind! LOL!
I wonder how those our age are all alive period! I mean we did some shit back in the day that's considered totally dangerous now! LOL!

Yes, how time Flys. I'm 72, and it never ceases to amaze me just how fast it whirls into the year or even day. When a kid, I couldn't movevquick enough, now I say sloooow down.

Upon my father's death, a man from his company wrote a note to my Mom saying, "I can remember when Bob first became an underwriter. It is scary how time flies."

The only great truth there is is that there is never enough time.

It's amazing the number of people you make friends with over the years only to lose track of more than half as life passes by. It takes time and effort. It sounds like it must have been a nice encounter and a trip down memory lane.
Nice write. Thanks for sharing.
