More Unforgettable People

Saturday I reconnected with a really old friend from my early teenage years!  We were 13 and 14 when we met.  I was very close with her family, who ended up moving 3 years later, but we wrote letters back & forth for years!

I was her bridesmaid when she got married in 1975, and we stayed in touch years afterwards.  She & her family had moved to the West Coast in the 1990's when Jon's dad entered a care home.  
We met up for coffee in 2001 when my daughter & I were visiting my Mom, who had recently moved to the Lower Mainland as well!





I think it was only in the last 6 years or so that we lost touch . .  one too many moves and my Christmas card/letter was returned.  So when I myself moved out here, I found her FB page, but also noted that she hadn't posted for quite a while.  I PM'd her and waited . . . . until last Friday night when she contacted me!  We met for coffee on Saturday, catching up on all our family news. 

Isn't it wonderful how you can be apart for years then when you get to chatting again it seems like ten minutes?

I really sensed that she wanted a heart-to-heart friend and boy am I excited about that!
