Reconnected with my old friend 5/17/2020

It was a hot day. We experienced the electricity outage for three hours in the middle of the day. It was terrible, and we were so glad once it was fixed and got back to normal. I am thankful for electricity.

When I woke up, I thought of my old friend. We attended at the same tour. I attended as a hired interpreter and she was a customer. Since last year, I had seen her account as my Facebook friend recommendation list. But her family name was different from what I remembered. So I hesitated to contact her until today. But this morning, with the strong urge feeling, I thought I should take courage and send her a friend request. So I did.

Just some seconds after I sent her a friend request, I saw a notice that she already accepted my friend’s request.

I sent her a message and she replied back. After we exchanged some messages, we decided to talk on Skype.

It was great to be able to reconnect with her. During the tour in 2007, I became friends with her. I liked her very much. After the tour, I even visited her house and stayed one night at her house. Since then, I was too busy on my personal life journey and we lost contact.

She was the same way. She was busy with her personal life journey. She came to Arizona alone and traveled around Hopi-land, Navajo-land, and Sedona. She said it was in November 2010. In the same time, my family and I went back to Japan for two weeks. We would not be able to see each other anyway.

She got divorced from her husband and now she lives in Okinawa with her teacher job.

It was very nice reconnecting with her and catching up with her.
