Karma

This is where I tell you I believe in fate. I believe that dreams do come true. (This is so sappy, but I don't care.)

Several weeks back, I decided to try to reestablish contact with one of my oldest best friends. We had lost contact when I moved, and it had been 5+ years since we last talked/IM/or wrote. I couldn't email her; the messages kept coming back to my inbox as message delivery failed. So I went through old letters she sent me to get her home address, and I found it. So I wrote her a letter. It was a weird one considering that we haven't talked in ages, and I didn't know if she had moved or what not. It was more like an introductory letter in an I-hoped-that-you-still-remembered-me type of a tone.

A couple of days ago, I had a dream that my friend got my letter, and she sent me a reply. I was going to post it on this blog, but I only got so far as one sentence in a draft. After having that dream, I was going to ask my father if he had sent out that letter, but I guess I don't need to anymore.

Today I got an email reply from her. Seeing her name was the originator of that email made me squeal with delight and amazement. I am glad for this moment. She's doing ok, and that's what I'm thankful for.
