The 12 of us in the photo, along with the person who took it, were gathered for a joint wedding shower for two of the women. This snapshot captured a group of amazing women and I feel so fortunate to have known all of them. At this moment, a little over 13 years ago, we were all co-workers.
Some random facts about those of us seen, and not seen, in the photo:
I suppose this post is a reminder to myself to keep in touch and nurture friendships. People's lives changes, they move on and away, so it's often not easy. Sometimes all you have left is a photo and it's just not enough.
Some random facts about those of us seen, and not seen, in the photo:
- 5 of us still work together. Yes, at the same company.
- 4 of us do not have any children (yet we all still work with kids).
- 3 of us (+ the photographer) attended the out-of-state wedding of another in the picture ~11-12 years ago (and had a blast!)
- 2 of the women are mothers of twins.
- 1 person died 5 and a half years ago.

i am really bad at keeping in touch with people. sometimes all you have left is less than a photograph even. so if you still know where they are, you should get in touch to say hi!
@ambitious hamster: Yeah, so true. Well, I see 4 of them 3-4 times a week. Am in good, if not often, touch with 3 others. 3 more, not so much, but I'll work on that. The one, who was a very, very dear friend is unfortunately gone. And there is the one who I never really knew too well (or really cared to for various reasons) and I can pretty much bet no one is in touch with her. So, overall, we're doing pretty well.
