What a wonderful feeling actually seeing someone that you once cared so much about.after so many years (35 )....I can honestly say that at 63 years of age I am really happy with this person back in my life... we have a lot of things to talk about but its really been a great catch-up time for us...He stayed the entire month with me while I was there with my brother...He helped my brother out a lot with things that my brother just was not able to do...so we were both happy he was there.... yes he is retired just like me and can do that..LOL.....we are planning to see each other soon... he will be coming to New York soon and then I will be visiting him at his home... Life is great even at 63...only one mylotters opinion and I am speaking from experiences...LOL

Very very cool! I think as we get older, we realize more the value of memories and old friendships and people that meant a lot to us etc

They really do. some friends are a bigger part of our lives than others but they all are important. My closest friend has been my friend for over forty years but I have other very good friends that have been friends for much less time.

So glad you were able to pick up your friendship after so many years apart. I know that when I see friends from long ago we catch up with our lives, and then we stay in touch from time to time.

It is wonderful that you renewed your friendship with someone after such a long time. I was doing the same last year. Meeting up with several old friends.

I am happy for you. It's a long year you have not met your friend and when you guys meet again you can flashback all the memories in the old times. I wish someday I can meet some of my bestfriend when I was in school too, now we are all live in different city and busy with work, but someday I hope we can meet up again

Yes, life greater even at 63 or above. Life holds no age, speaks of no race and ignores beliefs. LOL. back to your discussion: Wow.. after 35 years... whew.. that will be a lot of catching up to do. I wonder if you will be able to finish until the last day of your meeting. Definitely there will be some follow ups after. for you... JOB WELL DONE... and... YOUR FRIEND is like a diamond... rare to find but can brilliant, strong and can break a mirror.

35 yrs can't possibly be the longest friendship. I have been best friends with my friend for at least 46 years now.

Oh, what a great time. I have had family members who were sick and needed help and we were glad for any help we would get. Life is great for you. Even if you did spend the night in the airport once.
