Despite my best intentions another four months have past. I had a very special day today spent with Julie Whitby (Disteldorf) we hadn't seen each other for about 20 years. We met in PNG when our daughters - Jessie and Jessie - went to pre-school together. There was so much to catch up on and I'm sure it won't be so long before we spend time together again. There were tears and much sadness for her Jess and lots of bragging about our boys. 
Jessie O, Jessie D and Dan, this is how I remember Jess the most.
It seems this is a time for reunions.
Last weekend was Uncle Bruce's 80th Birthday and his four children were there, Gary, Sandy, Cheryl and Joanne and we worked out it would be closer to 40 years since we had been together! Again lots of talking and laughter and easy sharing.
The week before saw me catching up with Judy Dawson, that was a 45 year gap. Her parents and mine have been life long friends with Mum and Dad being best man and bridesmaid at her parents wedding, our parents have stayed in touch though Judy and I had no connection for so long - I would never have recognised Judy but I think she is someone I would choose for a friend these days. Again lots to catch up on in our lives.
I realise just how valuable these "lost" people are in my life and I'll make greater effort to maintain these links.
