Walking down the memory lane

As much I got fed up with FB, I often end up blessing it. Imagine not seeing your school friends for 20 years, or your childhood friends, then somehow managing to find them on a social network and getting in touch with them after all those years. It's amazing! It's great to get informed about your friend getting married (even though the two of you weren't so close) and to see the wedding pics. 
What's even more amazing and great is getting recognized by the daughter of a co-worker whose friend request you accepted just because you have mutual interest and finding out that that's the same girl you played with in a street one summer 13-14 years ago. Summer ends, the kids disappear, the neighbor disappears too, there's only the neighbor's dog left wandering the streets. Then one day, the dog is gone too, mother's aunt is gone, the house mother's aunt lived is gone, and what's left is the street me and my sister spent our childhood in. 
People can change, faces, streets, houses can change too, but the memories live on. Slightly altered but still...
