I was at a church synod function where multiple churches were celebrating and supporting a mission church in our area, and lo and behold if my 2nd therapist didn't show up. He was there as one of the pastors who helped get this mission started some 20 some-odd years ago. I hadn't seen or even spoken to him in about 20 years I guess as he had taken a pastoral call in another state.

It was fun to get caught up. Last time he saw me, I only had one son, and his sons were just graduating from high school. We had LOTS of catching up to do to say the least. We sat together with some other old church friends and spent the evening just chatting and looking at pictures. He was the usual bubbly person I remembered, and he commented on how much happier and confident I appeared now.

It was nice to be able to just greet him as an old friend and simply enjoy the visit. Definitely was a pleasant surprise to see him.
