Once again, we went out with friends that came to visit from Curaçao. It's becoming infrequent, sort of once in a while. Still, I enjoy it so much, every time. Reminds me of old times, good times. Am I getting old?...not older...just old? I'm sure....
There is so much to miss besides great friends: easy conversation, shared memories, being oneself. We talked about children, vacations, health (ours and other friends'). It is never long enough, the night went by very quickly. There was also the inevitable talk about plans for the future. Even if we don't know exactly where are we going to end up or when are we getting there. We always touch on that, this time was no exception, but it was more serious.
There was, this time, something new: the fact that some of our friends are actually considering leaving Curacao! Never thought that would happen, but it has. Others have decided to live between two places, spending only part of the year on the island. Never thought that would happen either. It makes Frankie and I think better of our move to Miami.
