Some days you just need to connect with old friends. They know the ‘who’ you were before you were the ‘who’ you are now. <\/p>\n

My best friend, Robin, and I have been friends since we were 12. I won’t tell you how many years that’s been, but I will say she’s my rock. I wouldn’t have made it this far with out her.<\/p>\n

My new roommate arrives in 4 sleeps – I can’t wait. <\/strong><\/p>\n

He’s new as a roommate but we’ve been friends for almost a decade. To me this is particularly awesome because we’ve lived on opposite sides of the continent for almost eight years. Quite an accomplishment to keep a friendship going that long, I think.<\/p>\n

Tonight I’ve spent much of my evening talking to an old boyfriend. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve mentioned him before. We dated during a summer French Immersion camp the summer I turned 16 (he was an older man, he was already 16). I saw him at Christmas and had a great time reminiscing and wondering about what ifs. <\/p>\n

\"Susan-Nelson-Kevin-Caissie-1982\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s hysterically funny to me that when we were dating half of my current group of friends hadn’t even been born. <\/strong><\/p>\n

He’s been a great measure for me though. He knew me before I let myself get sidetracked. He missed all the years I sabotaged myself and made bad choices (while I’m sure I still make them, I’d like to think I’ve learned a lot and don’t do it as over anymore). Happily, his observation was, “Sue you haven’t changed a bit.”<\/p>\n

If only he knew. But it was gratifying to know I’d managed to find my way back to me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have lots of new friends too. Folks I’ve only know for a few years or in some cases a few months. I treasure you too. I’ve seen us all grow and can’t wait to see what happens next. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
