When I met my ex-husband as a teenager I gave up my friends. He wanted me to spend all my time with him. How romantic. Ha! And after we were married I completely lost touch with anyone from my younger days. I fell into a black hole. I was isolated which is exactly what he wanted.

But a wonderful thing happened during my divorce I re-connected with one of my old friends from grammar school. The years melted away when we got in touch and it was like we never were apart.

As I made my way out of the black hole I have re-connected with others from my past. In fact, about two years ago there was a reunion of my grammar school class. What a great night! It was fabulous to see everyone from my past. And some of us now stay in touch, what a great thing. The world continues to open up for me.

I never knew what I was missing until it came back into my life. Thank you ICS friends for allowing me back into your lives!
