If you read nothing else today please read this truly love filled post. It holds a lesson for us all.
Looking for photographs, I opened a folder on the computer. The first image I came across had me unexpectedly in tears. I have seen it hundreds of times and simply smiled, if a little wistfully. Yet this time, for some reason, it opened the floodgates.
It is a very ordinary photo of two very young men one spring afternoon. But the young men are not ordinary, they are my sons. Beside them are Nick’s souped-up VW and Alex’s bike… their respective wheels. It was an ordinary spring day… Nick had driven up from Bournemouth to spend the weekend with us. We had talked, laughed and talked some more. It had been a good weekend for a lot of reasons.
I had grabbed the opportunity to get a picture of the lads while I had them both there… a rarity now they were grown. Nick came up again a few weeks…

I did. I so admire Sue.
So do I she is a wonderful woman and mother.💜
One of the very strange facts of life is that she and I spent our teenage years in the same small town. I went past her house every day on the bus to school, just up the road from my grandma’s house. We probably bumped into one another at the shops occasionally.
Well isn’t it a small world. You wouldn’t credit it would you. I wander how many other blogging friends we have unknowingly crossed paths with.
The world is very small. Even odder is that we both moved to Paris at roughly the same time, so we might have bumped into one another there too!
Well! That is a double whammy! Did you stay in France or follow Sue back 😀. Only joking isn’t that just amazing!
I stayed, she went back. It’s very strange!
Yes a classic ships that pass in the night.💜
🙂
A real eye opener
True

It’s a wonderful post, and Nick is an amazing young man.
Yes indeed he truly is, well just look at his Mum xx
Thank you so much for sharing, Willow….and for your very kind comments. It is indeed odd that Jane and I lived so close… it was only a village, so it is a very small world sometimes. xx
Yes indeed it is.. unbelievable. So often the unbelievable is true 💜💜
That’s the wonder of every day 🙂
Yes it is.💜
