At our school reunion 2026

There was a woman sitting next to me at our school reunion—you can spot her in the photo because she’s the only one wearing a traditional kimono. She was a year ahead of me, so we had never spoken back then, but this was our very first time actually talking. During our high school days, I used to see her out on the sports field during gym class and sports festivals, wearing her white jersey and navy bloomers. She was my absolute crush. I was far too shy to ever approach her, so I just admired her from a distance, quietly holding onto my feelings. Now, forty-eight years later, I finally got the chance to talk to her. I am truly happy that we could finally connect.
