Reunions can be fraught. I went to school on the opposite side of the metro area (Aloha), and our 10 yr. seemed more about posturing/proving you’d “made it” than anything else. A terrible DJ, not enough food, and a strangely poor choice of venue made it even worse (though somehow also hilarious with the benefit of hindsight).
The good news is that by the 20th, everyone had grown out of that, and there was a real sense of gratitude and being happy to reconnect. I hope yours is more like the latter.
