I was at work today making a spreadsheet from data starting a few years ago, and came across the name of a friend of mine from many years back. I know it's him because he has one of those unique last names that you just don't see every day. I haven't thought about him in at least 20 years.
Suddenly, the memories came pouring back. We were just friends, and there were a group of us that hung out together then, but he and I used to dance together a lot, including slow dancing. I remember he used to wear Polo by Ralph Lauren, and to this day he's the best-smelling man I've ever known. I loved dancing with my face against his neck and shoulder. (Yes, that's as far as things ever went with us. We really were just friends.)
A party at his house was my first-ever pig roast...and the first, and last, time I tried to drink a "beer bomb".
We had a lot of great times back then. He's the only one of the group that I haven't seen in the past 20 years or more.
Anyway...has this ever happened to you? Have you had a friend that you haven't seen or thought about in a very long time, and then suddenly something brings them to mind and brings back a ton of memories regarding them?
Please share.
Let's wax nostalgic.
