Where are they now?
As I was doing some net surfing the other day, I decided to visit my alma mater's web page, just to catch up with news and perhaps an old friend online for a chat. Yes...I happened to be that idle! In the process, i started reminiscing on the good old carefree days of yore, when life seemed simple and when I had very few responsibilities, if any. That is when it hit me that I had lost contact with quite a few friends whom I had thought would somehow always be a part of my life. I can actually count on one hand the few classmates and friends whose whereabouts am aware, let alone those that I am in contact with. Everyone moved on with life, some doing exceptionally well in life from what I hear and afew no longer residents of earth having gone to be with the Maker. I wonder where I fall as far as these categories we bundle each other in are concerned. Am I among those considered to be doing well or the ones just getting by...those merely surviving. Whatever everyone else may think, I count myself among those that are happy and content. I opted to pursue education to very lofty levels, and this being after advancing myself in a career which was very rewarding financially and mentally challenging. I could do with the tonnes of money i used to make then, but as far as challenging my academic acumen goes, nothing I ever did beats my current situation. But I digress. I wonder anyway, where my classmates, friends and colleagues are at this moment. Are they ok? Is life treating them right? How are they aging? There is alot to wonder about. Only God knows the answers to these questions. Its been decades since I last saw or heard of some people, years since others. I hope everyone is holding up ok and that everyone I ever knew can say that it has been well with them.
