I noticed a post on LinkedIn and there was a name I knew and so I clicked through and realised it was who I thought it was and then checked my email address book and confirmed that it was correct and noticed the last time I wrote was 10 years ago just as I moved to my rented house and left my ex.
Gosh, ten years, where has that gone? We've just exchanged a few emails and caught up. Not the greatest of news on their side which is very sad I have to say. It's been a sad week as my friend who fosters children has had the devastating news that their young charge is now terminal with leukaemia. He wasn't given long around 9 years ago but he pulled through making what everyone predicted was a full recovery but it is back and he's not at all well. My friends are wonderful people and no one deserves this. Likewise my reconnected friend has similar trials and tribulations going on too.
How strange it was that when writing to my reconnected friend I had an ear worm rattling through my head and I recognized it as the first dance tune for their wedding where I was the DJ. It's a lovely piece of music and I hadn't known of the artist until they requested it. That was interesting that my connection was like that. Interestingly I've know the person in question since we met on holiday in .... wait for it ..... 1977. I went out with their friend, my first serious girlfriend.
Lovely memories I think....
