I had never had any desire to go to a reunion before, but this year felt different. We were the class of 1984, graduating high school before personal computers or cellphones, before the internet and social media. Our school still had a smoking area, something my children cannot believe. I had no idea where most of my peers had ended up and I was curious. Would the mean girls still be mean? Would the cool guys still be cool? And how different was I from the young woman who could not have imagined where the years would take her? I worried about how I would present myself: would I be the only widow at 59?I forgot that many of the people I went to high school with also attended my junior high and even my elementary school.
The men had less hair and the women universally looked better than we had when we were younger. The female beauty I saw around me came from within, a sense of fulfilment in our lives which were sometimes quite difficult but never boring, and in our comfort with ourselves.
