I just emailed my grade school best friend

I'm a bit nervous. I hope she emails back.

I moved out of town when I was in 7th grade and haven't really been in touch with her since. A few years ago I started trying to search her out and discovered, though no contact info (not on facebook, has a remarkably low profile internet presence), that we'd been at the same college at the same time and that she'd lost her entire family in a car accident on their way home from visiting her. 🙁

I was back home on business a few days ago and drove past her house and found she was still living there (personal license plate with her name on it on a car parked in the drive). I knocked on the door, briefly met her husband and exchanged email addresses since she was taking a nap. I just shot her an email and I'm hoping she's up for a renewed correspondence.

Has anybody else reconnected with someone from early life? Did it work out?
 
I found someone from grade school on facebook. shot them a message asking if they remembered me, they responded with yes and I haven't talked to them since.

If you guys were good friends I would assume she would be interested in contact again. When was the accident?
 
Stuff can be awkward as hell.

I visited a friend (best friend all through elementary school) about a year ago, which means I was in 9th grade and he was in 11th grade. We hadn't seen each other for four years (when I was in 5th grade and he was in 7th grade) because I moved away at the end of 5th grade.

I knock at the door. He opens the door. I see a guy with dreadlocks and goatee. He sees me, he's like "HOLY SHIT MAYNE WASSUP!!". He also sees my skinner stature (compared to my fatass grade school self), he's all like, "MAYNE YOU MUST BE GETTIN' ALL THE LADIEZ NOW!!".

Crazy shit. People change...
 
I attended a retirement party a few weeks ago at my work and my best friend in grade schools father was there. Got his email address and reconnected, its prolly been 17 years or so since I have heard from him.
 
i found one of my best friends from elementary school on myspace. sent him a message and he remembered me and everything but we never kept corresponding. just different places in life now i guess.
 
Yes. I lost contact with a really vlose friend. Found her on facebook and messaged her. We talk almost every day now and are just as good friends now as we were back then.
 
Reconnected with 2 friends recently. One was an old supervsior, the other was a friend I had from Grade 9 to second year of college. I only lost touch with both people for 2 years, so it's not as drastic as reconnecting with someone from grade school.

Never tried to reconnect with my grade school friends because the ones I gave a shit about went to highschool with me. The ones I hated went somewhere else, so fuck 'em. The only people that I'd like to reconnect with are two friends from highschool. One I ran into on the bus three years ago, but didn't exchange any info.
 
I always wonder what happened to like 99% of my classmates in school. Lot of them I never saw after being done. I should probably get a myspace and join facebook. I'd probably meet some of them again.

I moved across countries and lost contact with my earlier friends. I found them on Hi5 (and now Facebook) and have talked to them over MSN a bit. It would have been cool to still hang out with them, but I've moved on and they've moved on. Maybe if I go back, I'll meet up with them. Its still great to talk to them and know they are well.

I moved out of town when I was in 7th grade and haven't really been in touch with her since. A few years ago I started trying to search her out and discovered, though no contact info (not on facebook, has a remarkably low profile internet presence), that we'd been at the same college at the same time and that she'd lost her entire family in a car accident on their way home from visiting her. 🙁

I was back home on business a few days ago and drove past her house and found she was still living there (personal license plate with her name on it on a car parked in the drive). I knocked on the door, briefly met her husband and exchanged email addresses since she was taking a nap. I just shot her an email and I'm hoping she's up for a renewed correspondence.

Has anybody else reconnected with someone from early life? Did it work out?

You sound like a creep

We're girls; life's a bit different for us.

I think alistar7 was unaware of that fact also😀
 
I lost touch with my best friend from college for like 4 years... we reconnected a couple years ago and have since made it a point to get together at least every couple months.

Did you grow up in the 707 area?
 
I did reconnect with my grade school best friend via facebook. I passed him my number and he passed me his... unfortunately, we've never managed to call each other.

We were super close. We used to do everything together... play videogames, go bowling, parties... everything. He was one helluva smart kid and had amazing artistic talent. He lost his Mom via breast cancer and his dad died a few years back. I sometimes reminice (sp?) about those days and wish I could relive them. Life was so much simpler... no mortgage, no family commitments... just school and friends.

I used to long for being a grown up when I was a kid (didn't we all) and if I could travel back in time, I would tell myself to cherish those days while they lasted... *sigh*

Yep. Living in WA state now, wishing I could go back to 707 (Mendocino County specifically.)
