No fun revisiting the past.
Met up with an ex and her family to celebrate her Mother's birthday today.
Her Mum is 90 and her children decided to 'organise' a get together with those who have known her the longest who are still alive.
I guess the older you get the more you realise you've lost more family and friends than you have left.
Hence the invite.
So we meet up and immediately it feels like there are two realities going on here.
The 'rose tinted' view of 'Hey this is fun ! Why has it taken so long to get us together ?'.
And the real feeling that 'My goodness you people are awful no wonder we haven't contacted each other in all these years !'
People rarely improve with age it seems
