My Silver Anniversary

I woke up this morning and realized, with absolute astonishment, that it was 25 years ago today that I made my First Holy Communion. Awwwwww. May 9, 1981. Now surely i'm the only one who recalls the date of their communion. It was a sunny, pleasant Saturday. Both grandmothers were still alive...one to die less than 5 months later. We went to a local diner afterwards. I shared the party with my 2 cousins at a hall. I am JUST amazed that i'm old enough to so clearly recall something that happened 25 years ago. Naturally, the next thing on my mind was "OH, MY GOD...25 years from NOW i'm 58!!?!"...which I quickly pushed out of my mind. As crazy as it is that it's been 25 years...it DOES seem like a lifetime ago. So that's good, at least. Still odd, though. I think i'll fondle my rosary beads later to get a physical reminder...
