Oh my GAHHHHD! How long has it BEEEEEEENNN???? When she told me her name my response was "Look, you hated me all through school and I am comfortable with that now so lets just can the crap, B****. Then, naturally, the hand went to the chest and she gasped in "shock" etc, etc, etc. I was happy about it...
I totally understand. However, my life is just going by too quickly to hold onto old grudges. In my 54 years of experience, forgiveness is healthier for me than anger is. It really is. And, people change. They really do.

Another thing to keep in mind...when people go to reunions, everyone is feeling self-conscious at first. Believe me, everyone gets over it. With all the reunions I've been to, I have never, in any way, experienced anyone being judgmental. Not at all.
Thanks for this!
