GLORIA

What a shock! The minute the elevator door opened and the woman took one step into the lobby, I recognized her immediately. I hadn’t seen her since she moved away 18 years ago. But now, by complete coincidence here she was. “Gloria,” I called, “It’s me Hannah.” We both looked at each other in complete surprise and excitedly re-established a long lost friendship.

I had arrived a few minutes early for my eye doctor appointed and sat waiting for my turn. Although I had thought about her over the years, little did I ever dream, I would see Gloria again in my doctor’s office. She had moved back to Madison recently and I can only guess it was meant to be that we would both appear at the same place at the same time.

In addition, she told me she had moved into the Oakwood Village retirement center. That too surprised me, as I, myself, had submitted an application to Oakwood five years ago and at some point will possibly move their also. We immediately exchanged our phone numbers and she invited me to visit her next week, so that she could give me a complete tour of the center.
