yesterday Shelley came up to visit....I still cant believe we've found eacg other again after 17 years and so many kilometers..and the funny part is that twice we were in the same area at the same time....too bizarre. I am so happy she is back in my life....I wonder how differently our lives would have been had we never lost contact...oh well, this is now and I am so happy...I know how needy and loserlike it sounds, but I feel more "whole" again, like whats been missing is found.....I'm such a geek.
