Faraway in Spacetime .. WTF

Antoine showed up on FB.. 

Voice call followed. then a photo.... WTF.. out of  the very distant spacetime. A history of our future.. 

Antoine , Hanna,  Jimi, Robert and  few others are around here, Joseph is in Vancouver, Ghassan is in Florida... Samih in Vienna etc.. All high school mates (and kind of elites .. whatever that means in a trash can named Syria)  and Mr. Basti , the teacher who created the love of physics in me.. 

Emotional ? sure .. Romantic? Not at all. Romance is just an illusion.

They were few of the best (whatever best means in the garbage land).. expected to have good future. 

They are already in Montreal for few years .. we didn't hear from each others for about 40 years give or take.
time changed .. damn ..

Let's see what happens when we meet .. They got old .. So did I .. Don't know about their health conditions.. I thought of asking .. but didn't want to hear bad news.. I had enough of that ..... enough  being worried about everybody around me, just because I can't be worried about myself.. 

Meanwhile ..  little Salam is getting married today .. he is Iraqi/Canadian/American.. from NJ.. his bride is Iraqi/British  from London .. they are in Antigua.. getting married by preacher in London and invitees are virtually from all over the globe  .. they got together (virtually) on zoom ceremony .. 

time changed 

I want to see my old colleges in flesh and blood .. not online
