But I'm able to keep up with former coworkers I haven't seen for years. (And, sadly, have found out about some who are no longer with us.)

I've seen pix of kids going into Middle School whom I remember before they were born, when Mommy was pregnant and we were all excited. Or when Mommy and Daddy were eagerly anticipating adopting a child who's now 12!

Most of us have work friends and we naturally drift away, but Facebook allows us to keep in touch. In a good way!
