A Walk Down Memory Lane~
Posted On 03/05/2022 08:29:12 by momtocam

This past week I learned a friend and (former coworker) was in the hospital…preparing to undergo heart bypass surgery. We started working together over 27 1/2 years ago. She, along with many other friends, (I’ve worked with) remain in close touch. 

My memories of yesteryear began to swirl in my head … tapping me ever so gently in reminding me of the years gone by. It seems just like yesterday that I walked into this local company preparing to begin a long journey of employment. Along the way, I met and made golden friendships here.

One other friend and former coworker from this same company (she was my boss), we still keep in touch too. She actually lives in another state now…having relocated during our time of employment together. Yet, regardless of the miles and years apart, our friendship never ended. To me, these are moments in time that brought me to the realization of life’s rarest gift…friendship. Most of all, being able to look back and reflect on time. Yes, there have been other jobs and faces along the way, but from this one place of employment..it really turned into a beautiful life adventure.

Another friend from this work place recently lost her husband. She is now preparing to move out of state to be closer to her children. I will miss her. Oh, but those precious memories of days gone by will never go away.

I can’t leave out yet another wonderful and beautiful friend (former coworker too) that graced my life way back in 1983. I’m telling my age now, yes, but once again, this chapter in my life bred yet another friendship…one that is most precious to me. We were mere young-uns, and beginning our work history together… she now resides in Florida. By the way, when we met, I called Texas home then.

What a journey it has been. Good times, and not so good times. But, from life we learn and move ahead. For if it wasn’t for these pieces of time, we wouldn’t be able to understand where and who we are now.

Sometimes a short walk down memory lane is all it takes to appreciate where you are today.  Life brings tears, smiles, and memories. The tears dry, the smiles fade, but the memories last forever.

I’m so glad I can share these memories with you.

Love your writing about friendships, how wonderful ... This
brings back so many memories for me. This brings to mind two thing for me ...
First, a company where I worked for more than thirty years and the friendships
that I made while there. They are still my very best friends. They have always
been there when I need them most. Second, having had double heart by-pass
surgery was a time that I really need friends. The people who were there for me
were the same friends who I had worked with so many years ago. These were the
one who looked after me and helped me through the months of recovery after the
by-pass surgery. We are always there for each other. I too will keep your
friend in my prayers ... Thanks again this was great!

I certainly identify with your journey down memory lane. Several of my 'sisters' from our nursing school years are now looking forward a similar trip this May, when we will be celebrating our 61st year since our graduation. It was so special for all of us to finally be a graduate nurse, with a black stripe on our caps.
It will be a great reunion, and we know that those who are able to attend will have some favorite activities in common... eating and talking!!! We won't need to be entertained!!!

The friends we meet along the way in our workplace are precious. I'm still in touch with some online and by phone. I love what you said:
"What
a journey it has been. Good times, and not so good times. But, from
life we learn and move ahead. For if it wasn’t for these pieces of time,
we wouldn’t be able to understand where and who we are now."
Your friend having heart surgery is in my thoughst and prayers.
