WE kept in touch for a while through letters and gradually things just dropped off and we lost touch. Then last year an unexpected email arrived. My friend had googled me and found my websites and blogs where my email address was published and so got in touch. We now email one another at least once a week - it's like having a conversation as it's more immediate than letter writing and you can just send a couple of sentences rather than have to think of lots to write. Maybe if we had email back then we wouldn't have lost touch!Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-89008093440857909622013-03-03T11:24:09.339+00:002013-03-03T11:24:09.339+00:00O, I am late but I still wish you a Happy Birthday...O, I am late but I still wish you a Happy Birthday.
