I always wonder what happened to old friends.

I suddenly figured out one day why old guys stare at me in the stores in town.
I’ve gotten to be that way too.
They are looking to see if they know me.
Kind of desperately looking for someone they know.
So much time has passed but I still think about the friends that I went to school with from various schools that I attended as I grew up.
I’ve searched their names and the few that I have found were just through obituaries and I wonder if any are still around.
 

I'm 80, and over the last few years have found I'm outliving several folks (my age group) from my past. It is an eerie and somewhat scary realization. And to be honest, I ask "why me, and why them"? My wife says its all about DNA and lifestyle, and I guess that's pretty valid. But still.......

Oh, my Mom lived to 94. Before she succumbed to Alzheimer's, she would comment on how all her friends are gone. I thought that was sad then, but now I truly understand.
