An Ode to Old Friends...
"Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. And when he isn't around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?" -- Clarence, It's a Wonderful Life.
It was a lesson George Bailey had to learn the hard way.
Unfortunately, it's a lesson, we often have to learn as well.
This week, I was rattled by the news that an old high school friend, Tony, died unexpectedly.
The news came about a week after another high school friend, Ana, also passed away.
They were both about my age and graduated from high school my same year.
I hadn't seen either in almost 40 years, which is really hard to believe, but we reconnected through social media in recent years.
