We got to Orlando and met up with Tom. Except for gray hair he looked the same. Tom has a warm smile and infectious laugh. So when he turned the corner in the hotel lobby and spotted Micki and me. His smile was in full bloom and he started laughing as soon as he spotted us.
There were hugs and kisses for Micki and a hug for me and then we all started talking at the same time. Micki had to get out the pictures of our grand children and Tom took great pains to look them over.
It was if those thirty years of not seeing Tom just melted away. We have never met Sally his wife but before are meeting with Tom was over we both thought we had know her forever.
When we get to California we have to stay with Sally and Tom because Tom said we have to and we will. It should be a very enjoyable time when we stay with them. Tom said on a clear day they can see Catalina Island and the big Hollywood sign in LA.
We all wanted to know about our mutual friends. In thirty years a lot of our friends have moved, remarried ,and are doing things you would have never thought they would do. Then it got down to Micki, Tom and me. Tom most of thought we were part of an investigation team, because we just kept asking questions. Then Tom had his boat load of his questions. This went on all through dinner. After dinner we agreed to meet for breakfast.
We had a two hour breakfast filled with more questions and stories. Tom brought up stories I had forgotten and my stories had been forgotten by him until I recanted them.
If you ever get the opportunity meet up with a dear old friend do, you life will be richer for it.
