Terrible events have ways of bringing people together. As more friends and family have started to pass away, I have found myself being reunited with friends and family with whom I have lost contact over the years. This was certainly true for the visitation I attended tonight.
As the viewing was for one of my former coworkers, I found myself in the company of many friends who I have missed so much since I left Colon Schools. The viewing was temporarily closed off as family a friends could say a Rosary or wait outside. Our group used that opportunity to get back in touch with one another.
While there are number of reasons that I am glad that I left Colon to teach elsewhere, I certainly have missed the people with whom I used to work. We were very much a family. I have developed friendships and have worked to bring my coworkers at Lincoln closer together as well, and have felt that our relationships have improved, but it's a bigger school and the chemistry between people is different.
As I approached my former colleagues tonight, it was a joy to see their faces light up as they recognized me and greeted me with smiles and hugs. While we were gathered for a solemn occasion, we also basked in our renewed friendship. Somehow, it didn't seem like over nine years had passed since I had seen some of them. We promised to stay in better contact, and I sincerely hope that we do so.
