I resisted signing up for an account in Facebook for a long time. I thought I didn’t need another social networking site when I can hardly keep up with the only other one I have. My daughters kept urging me to join FB, but I didn’t want to go sooo public with who I am and what I do and even with how I look.
Then it occurred to me to search for a friend I wanted to see in the US (the only one who came to mind at the time). First I Googled him. Then, among the search results was his Facebook account! Off I went, and like a chain, I began discovering mutual friends and friends of friends…until I started connecting with schoolmates of over forty years ago and knowing where they are.
The nostalgia bug hit me and, like a frenzied weirdo, I searched for other names and they kept coming.
Now, I am getting ready for reunions and homecomings, and the pleasure of being remembered just makes me feel good!
Thank you, Facebook.
