'old friends'

i've recently reconnected with many 'old' friends and acquaintances on facebook. it's funny how you can pick up right where you left off with some people and others, not so much! many people i have reconnected with have children, are married, and frankly i'm a little surprised that they requested or accepted my friendship on facebook considering how they acted towards me in school. i'm not sure if they've all matured or if they're all just curious about what became of me. i know i'm curious as to what became of them.

my best finds on facebook are people that i was incredibly close to, then we lost touch due to my moving away and now we've found each other again! i can totally see God working through all of this. one friend had a miscarriage a couple years ago. one friend lost a baby nearly two years old. one friend is dealing with an unwanted abortion...the father is affected by an abortion too! all that said, these people have returned to my life at just the right time...the pieces in this puzzle are fitting together perfectly, just the way God intended. now we can continue to heal, together. we can learn from each other. we are all at a different point in our grief and healing at our own rate. we are all on a journey that we never expected to be on; a journey i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, but i can't think of any people i would rather be on this journey with!
