Kindergarten

On Friday when we were cleaning out the “junk” room, I ran into a lot of memory boxes, bags, etc.  The first stuff I came to were all the letters and cards I ever sent Zach, including my first Christmas gift to him.  Since Zach was there, I read most of the cards and letters to him.  I don’t know where the letters and cards he gave me went, I’m sure they are in a different box since we didn’t live together.    Anyway, we were sooo in love.  Not that we aren’t in love now, but I’d forgotten the giddy I-Love-you-eventhough-I-don’t-know-everything-about-you love.  The period when you suddenly realize that is the person you are suppose to be with for the rest of your life.  It made me happy.

Another bag, that has been on my mind was bag I put everything from my college graduation in.  It was hurriedly thrown together since we were in the process of moving and I haven’t opened it since.  But I was trying to organize and condense the many, many boxes I had, it was opened and examined.  I find a stack of memorabilla that had been part of a poster my grandmother had put together for me for my graduation party.  It had photos of me from birth to graduation and all the programs from things I’d been in throughout the years.  The one that I find most interesting is the program from my kindergarten graduation.

We moved into my house when I was three and I lived there until the day I got married, so it’s not a wonder that a lot of the people on that 50 person graduation list in 1987 walked with me in 1999.  Some of us were friends in elementary school and drifted apart in middle school into high school.  Some of us were never really “friends,” but had a class together every year until we graduated and some of us had the opportunity to travel together our senior year, some left our area at some point, yet are still vivid in my mind.  Despite our relationships through out the years I find myself wondering what’s become of of this class of 1987.  Thanks to myspace and facebook, I’ve been able to answer this question for a few: Andy B., Charlotte B., Kara B., Greg C., Sean D., Aubrey F., Erin H., Malia M., Stephanie N., and Lisa V.  But there are oh, so many, that I’d love to hear from or see again…..I think they should do kindergarten reunions.

If you were part of my kindergarten class and want a copy of the program or know the status of any of the missing people, please let me know.
