Once upon a time, I had a dear high school friend who stood up for me at my wedding.
I entered the married-with-kids track and most of my friends entered the college-and-career-before-marriage-and-kids track. I lost touch with a lot of those friends. We never disagreed or disliked each other; life simply got in the way.
This all happened around the time that Mark Zuckerberg was being potty-trained. My friends and I had to wait until Mark was old enough to found FaceBook so that we could reconnect.
This sweet found-again high school friend knew about my upcoming grandbaby through FaceBook and offered to send the stuffed animals I had made for her all of those years ago.
The box arrived while I was dealing with disrupted travel plans last week. It remained sealed while I was suffering through artistic insecurity. Now that the mental decks are clear, I finally (!) opened the box.
I re-met Mr. Brown Bear:
and Mr. Green Turtle:
There was another surprise in the bottom of the box:
Aztec Fire Tea!!!!! This stuff is gold. Gold. GOLD. G.O.L.D!!!!!
I am so grateful for my thoughtful found-again friend. I'm now boiling water for tea. Maybe she can come and join me for a cuppa?

You have reconnected with a great friend. I've found some the same way. Nice to have somebody with the same memories, isn't it?
