… was the salutation with which Anna replied with a loooong mail!
By a coincidence (or ESP?!), she had been searching for me on the Net a few weeks ago.
Another coincidence – we had both done courses in Hotel Management and Catering Technology in the mid ’80s!
And finally, we had major career shifts and both of us now work in the health services field!
How’s that for parallel minds/ parallel lives?
I remember Anna as bubbly, feisty and fun, with a ready smile and a quick wit bordering, at times, on the irreverent. She made me laugh, and how! Yes, I did go though the giggly teen phase, however unlikely that may seem now.
Anna is also very brave. She fell seriously ill after she went back to England and has come through with great strength and fortitude.
Her family are doing well except her dad passed away in 2000.
What strikes me most when I read her mails is how close and supportive her family members are of each other. I’m not really surprised because I remember them as warm, friendly and inclusive – I practically lived at their home – a twenty minute walk from ours – especially over the hols.
