When you’ve been away life simply goes on without you. I say this not only as a reality but a good reality. No one should expect for the lives of others to pause just because you’ve been away.
Life does go on.
For some the routine of life mainly stays the same.
For others the routing of life is interrupted with the ocassional major blip on the radar screen.
Death.
Expected birth.
Decision to move followed by the decision not to move.
New job (where you are greatly appreciated).
Promotion to full bird Colonel.
These are the things I learned while catching up with our former neighbors.
When you’re given the chance to catch up and discover all that you’ve missed it makes you wish you’d been there. It also makes you glad to know that life goes on.
