Random meeting, good story

[Marthe48]

My s-i-l helps with his family business. His assistant was unavailable. My daughter offered to help him if she could, so she met some people for preliminary business. It turns out, the people were from the town where we lived until 1989. As they spoke, my daughter mentioned several people we had known, but the guy didn't know them. Then he mentioned my husband's name and my daughter was thrilled. The man worked with my husband, and had nothing but good to say about him. My daughter related the chance meeting and the story, and we were both choked up knowing that even outside of our family circle, her Dad, my husband, are not forgotten. It's been just 8 years since he died, over 20 since he retired. Cheered me up.

4. I am sorry for your loss

My Mom passed away in 2007. I think of her often, think of all my loved ones often, not when they died, but when they lived and memories that remind me of happy times.
