I wrote about it here a few months ago. I was having anxiety and dread all the way up to going, mainly cause I'm FAT! But everyone was happy to see everyone, and everyone has aged, some are also fat, LOL! I'm glad I forced myself to go, but it is taking me a while now to recover, sleeping a lot and hibernating alone in my house.

I didn't see your original post seeker1950, are any of the people you met going to keep in contact with you?

Peg...there are several of us already on Facebook. Class of '68. It was sad to see that many have passed away already.

Ah, facebook is a wonderful thing, I'm glad you went, not sure I could do it. Funny how age makes us spread like that!

I keep track of a lot of old high school friends via Facebook, so I don't fear seeing them in person because we've ALL aged. I find, at least with the ones I keep up with, we get along so much better as adults than we did when we were in school together. With living life comes perspective and a better ability to accept differences and understand how we've all had our struggles along the way. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
Thanks for this!

I'm glad it worked out. Yay! It is always nice to hear when something scary works out.

I'm glad you went! I skipped my reunion not because of my looks but rather because I haven't lived up to my potential. (I'm on SSDI, went on it right after grad school.) I didn't want to have to dodge questions for 3+ hours about what I've been doing with my life!

Well I never saw your original post but I'm glad to hear you got yourself to go to this. More than I could say for myself if I was presented with a chance to go to a reunion! good job and relax, recover and be proud of yourself for overcoming a challenge!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
