Wild.

A woman I work with seemed really, really familiar to me; couldn't figure out why..we were talking today in the laundry area (where she works), and I finally asked her her last name..My jaw dropped, as it turns out that I grew up playing with all of her kids.

She remembered me after I told her my maiden name..and we got caught up on a LOT of the old neighborhood gossip, and what all her kids have been up to. Sad to say, the daughter that was closest in age to me died last year of a brain aneurysm out of the blue..the one son (who was pretty cute, and dated one of my best friends) had a young son who just passed away from a brain tumour.

WTF.

She also told me that our one neighbor passed away less than a year ago..and it was not too long ago that we went to his wife's funeral.....it was weird, and sad, but amazing to remember all the people/stuff/idiosyncrasies of the old neighborhood...

THEN, 'lil Miss Clara heard us talking...and turns out that SHE lived in Da 'Ville for a number of years..and was a lunch lady at my ye olde middle school (back when they called them 'Junior Highs', lol)...and SHE swears she remembers me. I laughed, and kinda didn't believe her...UNTIL she said, 'You always sat by yourself..'

Uh. Guess she DID remember me...

Small world.
