My future - my past

These days I'm not sure where I'm at. Clearing out my families house after the death of my Mom/Joe has been healing in some ways and opened many old wounds in others.

Finding pictures that made me laugh - of Mom/Joe in younger days and so happy. So many years spent in happy times. Pictures of old friends who are gone - that they are with now. All together in Heaven.

I found an old high school annual and its made me think about the people in my past. Some memories good and some not so great. (My hair in the 80's was a sight. Had the Farrah Fawcett do going on for sure.)

I have this desire to reconnect with some people....but I have no idea why. I'm in a different place than I was in 1986 when I moved away from home for good. I'm an adult and some of these people I only know as a teenager. So what could I gain from this connection? Am I trying to recreate happier times in my past or bring the lessons I learn into my present. Who knows. Too deep for now and I won't know until I try. But I do know that God is pulling me in this direction. And I'll go - I hope so anyway.
