Friendship

Last night, we hosted our annual Xmas party. What a difference a year makes...check out the snow and ice from last year's party. Our long-time good friends (since grade school in some cases) Georges and Sylvie, Pierre and Annemarie, and Guy and Lise, were able to join us once again. This year, we were happy to be able to reconnect with dear friends Jean and Carol, who Pete met thirty years ago. It is because of Jean that Pete and I met twenty five years ago just about to the day. Life changes and moving to other cities led to a loss of contact; in fact the last time I saw them was thirteen years ago. I know this because their dog "Gabby" is that age. He is by Santana out of Dream West and was a gift to their daughter, Pascal, who is Pete's goddaughter. But like all good relationships, it didn't matter how much time had passed since we saw each other last, we just picked it up where we left off. It was a very special evening of reminiscing, laughter, lots of food and sincere friendship.
