I really enjoyed catching up with you and reminiscing about the old days at WFLS. Surprisingly, I also had a great time sharing business start-up stories with Chris and finding a shared connection over the joy of spending time with our children while seeing new orders come in. It was also a lot of fun getting to know Kate and David. They are great kids who cracked me up with their riddles and jokes. You’ve done an amazing job raising them — they’re intelligent, curious, well-mannered, and full of character. I wish I could have stayed longer to play more games with them. I’m already looking forward to the next time we hang out again. Every moment together is a reminder of how lucky I am to have a great friend like you.

What wonderful memories for the kids as well! Such a treat to meet your old friend and to feel young again with each other. Sometimes our lives turn out differently and better than our wildest dreams in ways that we could never imagine. You had a journal’s worth of treasures to write! I’m glad you included a picture of Chris. I was beginning to think that he was just your imaginary friend! It will be interesting for you to compare London’s Underground to New York City’s Subways!
