So I moved back to the homeland in 2020, and what happened? I was welcomed back into the fold as if no time had passed. My group of girls from high school had, in part, moved back to the area. And even though I hadn’t been the best at keeping in touch ( I. Was. In. Toronto!), they welcomed me back, no questions asked. (See “Girls Weekend” post from October 2021). I love these girls. I wouldn’t have survived high school without them, and probably not the re-entry back to Chatham-Kent. We don’t say it enough, but I love and appreciate these women. You know who you are. Thank you for everything.
