The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is David Johnson, because I would like to apologize. I feel that I wronged him in some way. It has ate at me for years.. My current age is 44. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be over the hill. I was so completely wrong in what we thought. Lane , Teri and I always thought that if you hit 30, you were over the hill. I had older siblings that were just about that age and we'd make fun of them. I am so sorry for making fun because the age isn't what makes the person. Who you are and what you fell makes the person.I think that once you hit 30 you are realizing that life is not a fun game. You are making a dent in what you are wanting to achieve. Do we ever really achieve our dreams? I think that the song by U2 is fitting. "I still haven't found what I am looking for." I haven't found what I am looking for. I have an empty place within me. I have no idea what it is, but I am still looking. My best friend would tell you I'm compassionate, loyal and always there for her, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as an over achiever, obsessive and a people pleaser. I want everyone happy and doing well. I think that is why I became a nurse,I love to make things better and to help those who are need of help. I hope that my older friends remember me as a good friend. With our group, there was always different rolls that each of us took on with the group. We weren't a gang per sey, but we were always together and having fun. I was more of the one that would try to comfort others. There were a couple of us. My father was an Engineer and he traveled alot when I was younger. Then once I got to where I had a group of friends that I loved so dearly the news of moving came. I was devastated! I gave up in school and made bad grades. Then the news of where we were going to move came. We were headed about an hour away from New Orleans. Oh man, you talking about a different world. They spoke broken English with Cajun French thrown in. Then I was finally accepted, but I longed for my friends in Houston. Galliano, La wasn't helping in the mourning of missing Denise and Kim and all the others. I would go outside in my front yard where just across the highway, and it was a two lane highway, there was a byou that ships and barges went by on. That was cool as hell. I would go out there and look at the stars and think of Houston and wonder what everyone was doing. If they missed me as much as I missed them. I vowed that one day I would go back and we would all be the same as we were before. That never happened. I ended up going to college and getting a degree in Nursing. We had moved twice since then. I will always call Houston my home. ALWAYS the house we lived in on Claridge will always be in my heart along with all of you that I was friends with. I wish you nothing but greatness and for everyone to be happy. That is all I want. I just want to be happy. When my parents bought the house in Houston we lived in, I thought we were there for the long run. But I was wrong. Six years went by and we moved. Dad was working over seas in Arabia and Kuwait and places like that. He had a choice of either Galliano, La. or Over seas. My mom didn't want to live in Greece without my dad because the Muslims frowned on females going there from America. So we would have to li...Expand for more
