Loyalty

Over my lifetime, several people have told me that I am a loyal friend, one who consistently reaches out across the miles and years to nurture long-standing friendships. It's even a character trait that my lovely fella admires in me. 

I have some excellent role models. Here is my mum and her friend of almost 40 years - Carol, plus Alec. Despite a difficult year for Carol and Alec, they re-routed their travel, so they could swing through Montreal to visit together. Looks like they had a lovely evening and inspires me to do the same with old far-flung pals.

And I think my young duo are forming some bonds that will last a lifetime.
