Why do reunions cause so many emotions?

Why do reunions cause so many emotions?  I'm all excited and nervous about attending.  Then I'm feeling insecure because I weigh too much and other stupid things.  Then when I'm there I'm in a daze because there is so much going on.  When I went to mine a few weeks ago, I found out that one of our classmates had died in a train crash.  I knew about the crash, because it happened nearby, but didn't learn till 8 years later that one of my fellow singers had died.  In the early 90's another fellow singer had killed himself because he had AIDS.  It wasn't easy to be gay at that time.  I wish I had pictures of them from high school.

Friends from my Choirs at Santa Monica High.  I think everyone looks great for 47 and 48. :)

Tonight I was lying on my couch snoozing because my daughter and her friend were using the computer in my room.  I was feeling the warm breeze and petting my cat and then dozed off.  Later on I hear loud singing and think, what the heck is that?

Well I sat up and looked at the TV and realized it was the show GLEE.

I have been wanting to watch the show but hadn't.  I didn't get to see the whole show but I liked what I saw.  During the show, one of the young men were singing,  I started to think of my friends who are no longer with us.  I was feeling so sad.  I remember feeling proud because they were my friends and they sang like angels. 
Now I feel a bit melancholy but I'm also at peace.  This blog is dedicated to my friend's Scott (Lad) and David.

May the archangels continue to sing with you in heaven.

Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu,

Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu,

Qui tollis peccata mundi;

Dona eis requiem,

Dona eis requiem  

I sang Pie Jesu in my head while I looked for images of Angels.
