I want to write about an experience that I have just lived last weekend.
When in 1989 I finished my studies in my school, I knew that I would never see my classmates because most of them had to go out to study.
After 25 years, we met again. There were only a difference: our age. But when I arrived at school, I came to be that young boy of 18 years old. That feeling was the same for the rest of the people. It was incredible met with your classmates, talking about our lifes, our projects, watching an emotive video where I could remember and the most important remember our dead teachers. At the same time we could share some time with somo teachers that wanted to come to greet us. Amazing.
Suddenly, It was Monday morning, all of us had to go to work. After spending a weekend like if we were in our 18, the reality told us, that we were 42 43 years old. ....
I was returning to have my duties.

*The word "dead" is very impersonal. We would say "deceased" or "passed away".
**or: that 18-year-old boy again.
It's been 34 years for me. I thought about attending a reunion a few years ago, but it didn't happen. But I did reconnect with a few classmates recently via Facebook. It does produce strange feelings.
