Old Friend Back In My Life

[Popcorn&Candy]

...And I am very happy! He contacted me via voicemail a month ago and gave me his number. I left two messages on his answering machine a week later. And he telephoned today! We had a lovely chat and are meeting up when lockdown is over.

I am very happy now!

Any re-kindled friendships in your lives? I do think coronavirus has made people realize how fragile life is. Don't let your old friendships go. Definitely re-kindle what you thought you'd lost. It is so, so worth just telephoning people you thought you had forgotten.

Very happy for you! Enjoy getting reacquainted!

That's fantastic news!!! I do think that lockdowns and social distancing have had an effect on people in this way — wanting to connect, not wanting to let more time pass by without connecting because our time is finite. I'm really happy for you!

Thank you!

Having people in my life again is wonderful. I am reaching out to connect with many others. Life is short, you see, and I don't want to hold back the years.

The coronavirus has shown me that people are precious and that time is short. I have to make the most of now. Nick has helped me in that regard.

Having Nick back in my life is wonderful: he is a ray of sunshine. We are meeting up in a few weeks and he's going to treat me to lunch. I shall also be buying a pair of trainers with him. I can't buy trainers online, because I need to physically try them on in a shop. Shoes do come up different sizes in different shops: both online and IRL.

I also am regularly telephoning another close friend every week.

Friends will be friends.
