From Paula: I’ve
become rather thoughtful about reunions in the past two days. As background, my husband celebrated one of
life’s milestones at the College of the Holy Cross yesterday. It was a jam-packed day of meeting former
classmates who chatted about their lives over the 40 years since graduation on
their way to where they are now. It’s
the time of year. Spring brings us
endings and beginnings: pre-school
sign-ups and kindergarten graduations, good-byes to high school friends
anticipating college, tech schools or work, college grads – adults now –
heading to grad school or job interviews...and looking years ahead to reunions
of their own.
How time flies! I
remember many special reunions of my own, anticipating with pleasure seeing
people I meet each year and relishing new connections with a love of Girl
Scouting that we share without saying a word.
Great Escape is a time for catching up, looking back and looking
forward. Maybe “escaping” is what we
must do to get there – all the logistics and strategizing to leave home for the
weekend, but once there, it’s a reunion of everything we love rolled into food,
fun and laughter.
There’s an emotional tear here and there while saying
congratulations, good luck, best wishes and much success, and a pat on the back
to the proud parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters and brothers who
have supported and encouraged family and friends to reach for the stars. I wish you many smiles.
See you in October!
