I went for a friend's 21st birthday celebration and met some old friends there. I have not seen them in a few years and we managed to catch up with each other, even if the exchanges were rather short. I was glad to see a couple of close friends too.
What was the highlight for me though was that I met a classmate that I've not seen in 15 years! We were good friends then but I had heard that she had migrated overseas. It was so surprising that she was the mecee as well as the birthday girl's family friend, while I was a guest and choirmate. I think God had allowed us to meet there and that was the reason why I was invited. :)
It didn't occur to me initially that I knew her but as the party progressed, it became evident that she seemed familiar and could be my old friend. I then saw her sister and mother, which confirmed that she was the one I knew. I was deliberating whether to go up to her and almost didn't want to. However, I plucked up my courage and went to her.
Her sister was there and recognised me immediately. She called my name and then my friend greeted me ecstastically as well! I was overjoyed! She said she had been thinking of me and wondering whether I still lived at my old place. We caught up with each other and exchanged phone numbers. We even hugged each other. I also met her sister's husband.
