The Moment I Knew: A Reunion Like Coming Home
For me, it was a feeling that only grew stronger with time. The memories of our whirlwind romance in our 20s had faded into the background, replaced by the mundane routines of adulthood. Yet, even as we'd drifted apart, there existed an unshakeable sense of connection, a thread that refused to be severed.
It wasn't until our reunion in our 60s that I realized just how profound it was. Paul and I, once inseparable teenagers, now stood side by side, weathered and worn from life's experiences. As we looked into each other's eyes, something shifted – the world seemed to realign itself, and all that mattered came flooding back.
The memories of our time together in Darwin resurfaced like a tidal wave, carrying with them the echoes of laughter, tears, and first loves. It was as if no time had passed at all; we were still those two restless souls, caught up in each other's orbit. The past and present merged into one, leaving only the present moment to breathe.
In that instant, I understood that our relationship was far more than just a chance encounter or a fleeting infatuation. It was an event, a convergence of lives that would forever alter its course. And as we stood there, rekindling what had long been smoldering beneath the surface – love, like embers, glowed once more to life.
For me, it wasn't about grand gestures or dramatic declarations; it was simply being present with someone I'd loved for so very long. In that moment, nothing else existed except us and our entwined pasts, forging an unbreakable bond between two souls who had been given a second chance at each other.
Reunited in our 60s, Paul and I knew we were home.

what is it about reuniting with someone from your past that just feels like coming home you know when you're back in a place or situation where everything feels right and comfortable again, but with the added layer of nostalgia and memories of who you were as a person? 
it's like no time has passed at all yet life experiences have shaped you into this totally different person. I think what really gets me is how some relationships can just simmer beneath the surface for years, waiting to be rekindled and reignited 
. The way they describe their reunion in Darwin just warms the heart, you know? It's those little moments that make life feel more meaningful than just ticking away on our individual timelines 
.
just read this super emotional article about people reuniting after decades apart... for me it's all about being present with the people we love, not the grand gestures or drama 
, that even though time passes, our connections can still be strong enough to bring us back together 
. and sometimes it takes a reunion to realize just how much those people meant to us all along... anyway, feels like we're living in a time where second chances are really being appreciated 
, I totally feel this way about platforms like Reddit! When you find your community online, it's like finding your tribe in the real life too. The connections you make with people who share similar interests can last a lifetime, no matter where life takes you. For me, Reddit has been that platform - I've been here for years and have met some amazing people through comments and posts. It's like we're all just one big happy family 
. But still, I believe in Reddit and its community - we can make it through anything together! 
I love how this story highlights the power of true connections and the idea that some relationships can transcend time and life's ups and downs. It's beautiful to think that even after all these years, two people can still feel like they're coming home when they're together again 
. You're basically re-living the same memories over again, it can't be good for you emotionally. And what about all the other people in your life now? Do they even exist anymore? Its like you've found a new partner in crime but you're stuck in the past 
. I think its better to have new experiences and meet new people, thats how you grow
