The last time I worked on a puzzle with my girls, I noticed that there were a few missing pieces. Though we put together what we had, we obviously couldn't see the whole picture with the gaping holes.
A few weeks ago, I received unexpected messages from dear childhood friends. It was then I realized the puzzle situation applied to me. I too was missing pieces -my picture was incomplete.
Call it Serendipity, Divine Intervention, or just plain luck. I happened to be traveling home the same weekend as two of them.
We met at Brads' food Hut. A local icon that marks the turnaround spot when "draggin main" in our home town, Cedar City.
It had been almost 15 years since I had seen or spoken with either one. Yet despite the passing of time, there was no discomfort, no awkward pauses, and no hesitation as we reminisced about good times and filled each other in on our new lives.
It made me realize that good friends touch our lives and fill an important space. They are links to the past, a reminder about who we are, and where we came from.
I am so grateful to have them back in my life, I guess in a way they were never gone. Just temporarily missing.
