https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Lost-Another-Classmate/m-p/121049#M54240 <P>Went to my 40th HS reunion this past summer, tho I really didn't want to because I've gained SOOOOOOO much weight since dh died. Last time these folks saw me was 20 yrs ago at our 20th reunion, where I was the hottie hot hot newlywed.</P> <P>But when I found out that over a dozen of our classmates have already died, I went, knowing THEY would have given anything to be able to go. We were a really small town and small school, only 112 kids in our graduating class which was the largest ever.</P> <P>One of the boys I grew up with hadn't changed one bit since graduation, and I talked a lot to him and his wife that night. Still same ol' guy, funny, slim as ever, just a delightful friend. Married for almost 40 yrs, I thought how lucky they were - still looking great, still like a couple of teenagers in love.</P> <P>Now he's gone.</P> <P>Don't know what happened, other than not car wreck. The funeral is this coming Saturday. I'm trying to pull myself together enough to go. Just so hard.</P> <P> </P> Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:53:13 GMT Zoologist_1 2011-10-12T11:53:13Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Lost-Another-Classmate/m-p/121049#M54240 <P>Went to my 40th HS reunion this past summer, tho I really didn't want to because I've gained SOOOOOOO much weight since dh died.
