Memories

So I was talking to my mom this weekend (yes in person- and it felt so good- and I'm still smiling...i digress (Ill do a post about moms later)) and we had a great conversation about growing up.


Let me tell you (again, like most things I say but dont understand this is one of them- you dont have to let me tell you; I'm going to do it anyways) it was one for the books...


"When you dont see someone for a long time they get 'frozen' at whatever age or in the last situation that you saw them in" - MOM


SO TRUE- little miss sunshine can vouch for me when I say I still picture Keri, my youngest sister, as a "baby" too young to drive/date/club/leave the house without someone going with her. Its a very interesting reality, taht when you dont see someone for ages you can't imagine them different from when you saw them last.


That said, my youth pastor from wayyyyy back has a facebook and friended me (very cool). While replying to one of his messages I thought about the conversation that my mom and I had, and wondered what he still sees me as, and its blowing me away.


He would be one of those people who could say, "I remember you when you...(feel free to fill in the blank with some of the most embarassing/funny/ akward times in your life) and now that I'm older I wonder if he still pictures me as the skrawny kid that played basketball and went to small group every week.

Well Dave if you get the chance to read this- first and foremost thanks for being there during the rough patches in high school, I really appreciate it. Secondly, tell the family I said HI, and Crossroads is still Crossroads but its not the same without you guys there every Sunday. Finally, I've grown haha hopefully I'll see you soon so you can fill in the blanks (I remember when you _______)
