Same Photo for 30 Years

I read a lovely story on cnn.com today. It's about a group of 5 friends who made a promise to each other that they would take a photo at the same place with the same pose every 5 years. They started this tradition in 1982 and they have been going at it for 30 years. They now have 6 photos to show off.

The story reminds me of my buds. Even though we don't have a photo tradition, we have plenty of photos to document our friendship and the passage of time.

Yes, our look have changed. We went from teenieboppers to middle age women and our lives took us to different paths in the past 30 some odd years. We don't even have a chance to see much of each other, yet, every time we meet, it's just like we just saw each other yesterday.

These 5 gentlemen made a pact and they stuck to it. Their photos are heart warming. Everyone should take a good read of their story and be grateful for the friends you have made in your life.

Friendship. Commitment. Frozen moment. Unstoppable time. Life-long memories. Just priceless.
