Seeing an Old Friend
Some time ago Jim and I had a falling out. Well, next thing you know, it had been seven years since I last saw him. I decided we needed to change that pattern to start the new year. It was good to see him and his family again. Since I last saw him, he got married and became a dad to five kids, including two young boys, Matthew and Levi, whom we got to meet for the first time. It was cool to see Jim in the role of a dad and also catch up with the rest of his family who happened to be there — his sisters Elaine and Kari (and their husbands Steve and Paul), as well as his mom, Mrs Wilber, who still remembers Cat and I fondly.
