there are people in life we will never forget. usually they're connected to those momentous occassions in life, yet when i look back now i'm surprised at who i remember and who i've kept in touch with. i still remember the kid from preschool JT Moore and the oddest thing i remember? his family had a conversion van. I still remember Ms. Dufour from 4th grade, her husband worked at the prison in Sugar Land. I try to remember people from middle school/high school, but the ones I remember the most surprise me. these were not the people that i necessarily spent the most time with but the ones i connected with most. the ones that had similar backgrounds and upbringings. sure everyone changes, but people i thought i'd remember forever are fading. i look back at pictures, yearbooks, etc. and i remember, but i'm surprised that i can't recall these events anymore. maybe it's just me, my brain is dysfunctional.
as i get ready to move, i wonder who i will remember, what events i will remember, etc. in high school i'd thought i'd always be friends with the people i hung out with or at the very least always remember them. yet now when i recall high school, i only remember maybe a handful of those people. gotta love quite contemplation.
