Have you ever thought of someone without any particular reason?
You may be doing something completely ordinary when suddenly a face comes back to you.
A school friend.
An old colleague.
Someone you haven’t spoken to for years.
For a few seconds, they are there again.
You remember their laugh.
The way they spoke.
Perhaps something foolish you both once did.
And then life continues.
But sometimes I think those unexpected memories are invitations.
Perhaps we should make the call.
Send the message.
Ask, “How have you been?”
We often assume there will be another day.
Another occasion.
Another opportunity.
But a small message takes very little time.
And you never know what may be happening on the other side.
Perhaps the nicest thing about being remembered is that it arrives unexpectedly.
Like a knock on the door from someone you thought had forgotten the way.
