Day 35 ~ Buddies

I reunited with a friend I hadn't seen in five years. We met at work sixteen years ago, in March. We started having lunch dates and at an early one, she said, referring to a member of my team who was training me: "Too bad you don't work for my team, then you could date X." X turned out to be the love of my life and the father of my son. She moved to a different state just nine months after I met her, but we kept the friendship. I can count on seeing her every five years, when her husband comes back to attend alumni reunions. In between, we usually have hour-long conversations every couple of months. We both like deep heart-to-heart conversations, although we can take on light ones, like the witticism that started our friendship.
