Finding old friends on social networks such as facebook is one of the more amazing things about today’s technology. However, opening the door to ones past can be a tricky experience. I spent years running from my past. Welcoming it back into my life with open arms hardly gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Yet, I have reached a point where facing  the past has become a quest I now must accomplish so I stand firm as I open that rusty well hidden door.

What I find once the door is opened only time will tell. But the door is beginning to open now and as scary as it is, it also thrills me. Spending fifteen years running from my past caused me to spend fifteen years running from the very people who helped me survive it.
