Reconnect

Some time ago I learned that favorite cousins had retired to Prescott, which is only a little more than an hour away from Sedona. I got their contact information from another family member, thinking, “I’d like to reconnect with them someday.”

Yesterday was that day, and our reunion was warm, loving, kind, and meaningful. Of course, we had to spend some time catching up with news of what our children are doing now and what had happened in the more than 25 intervening years, but that took surprisingly little time. We quickly moved the topic of conversation to what has meaning in our lives today.

This reunion was uplifting for me, and we promised to meet again in the spring, opening a new door to a treasured relationship.

You write it: Is there anyone with whom you would like to reconnect? When will you do it?
