In reply to the discussion: I had a kind'a upsetting day. [View all]Zing Zing Zingbah
(6,496 posts)30. Whoa, your high school reunion includes a deceased list
That's kind of morbid. Including a list of dead people who aren't going to be there doesn't seem like the best way to invite someone to a social gathering.
My high school reunions are never all that organized. They basically don't know where you are if you aren't in Facebook. There's no budget for it either. I probably won't be going to any more of them since I'm not on Facebook unless another friend knows about it and convinces me to go with them. There's also one person I really don't want to see. Big fall out and I don't know how I would handle ever seeing them again.

Did you attend English schools? Or American schools in England for service members' kids?

I get it. Didn't go to my 50th because most of them are still ignorant white wingers.

I feel better. Still sad about the list of the dead. Also, my own mortality comes to the fore.

This is a wonderful essay. I identify and I think it would resonate with many people.
