how the tables have turned

Two weekends ago I attended my church youth group reunion. It's been 13 years since I had seen some of these people, so naturally it was with mixed feelings that I attended. I realised that I missed my friends, but certainly not the church- some things never change. It was seeing my old best friend, however, that was most telling. We had a falling out about 13 years ago over something ridiculous and hadn't spoken since. We're both very stubborn. Needless to say there were no hard feelings between us- I think she's missed me as much as I've missed her, so it was nice to touch base again and 'be friends' once more.
Fast-forward one week and I'm at my old friends' house. I was without children for the weekend so it was a perfect opportunity to start again. We chit-chatted and laughed about old times, then she floored me with a touch of sensitivity that I wasn't aware she possesed. She looked at me, smiling, and said, "You know? It's been so long and so much has happened since then, but it doesn't feel like a day has passed." I heartily agreed with her, and for a moment I think we were both a tad uncomfortable as our teenage selves emerged, unsure of what to make of such warmth.

Then she told me she was gay.
When did THAT happen?????
