a few years ago, a friend of mine told me this:
"Just think about this.....somewhere out there, a man is going though his daily routine....working, laundry, eating alone, watching tv, and he doesn't know it, but he's got "Chuck's Guy" stamped on his heart."
I think of that often.
I was just rereading the start of your blog and realised that I had said exactly the same sort of thing, when calming my daughter about the move here.
I told her, over in Sarasota there is a little girl asleep in her bed and she has no idea that she is going to meet her new best friend in a few days, and she will be all the way from England.
Sure enough Emma was the first to make friends here behind the gates !!! and although her friend has moved house(divorce) and schools, her and Emma are still very close.
So what you wrote is spot on and I want an invite to the wedding so I can go shopping for shoes. !!!
