I'm so pleased to know S as an adult now and meet the love of her life. While we laughed together over dinner – partially home-made (crab rangoons, stir-fried pork with green peppers, crème brulée), partially store-bought (roti chennai, beef rendang, kang kong belacan) – I found myself quite overcome by the flood of nostalgia of that summer in high school that I spent with her family in St. Brieuc. We were just children then, learning Breton dances, making jam from fresh berries that Maman had picked from the garden, S and her sister M running to meet me at the bus stop when I returned from school… Now S is planning her wedding, she and A have bought a house in the south of France (with a pool!), and M is married and expecting. That family will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope that they realize how much they've impacted my life.

It's always fun to read about your past meeting your future :) Nice
Dear S,
As I read your message, I was crying. Yes, we have wonderful memories together in St-Brieuc as we were only children.
You take also a special place in the heart of our family.
S
