Long standing friend

I was pleased to hear yesterday that a family friend will be in Oxford this weekend. He’s like a honorary uncle to me and my sisters.

It’s a funny story, my Dad went on a French exchange when he was in his early teens and made friends with Marc Soulier, they remained friends and then Marc was best man when my parents married just over 30 years ago! Since then we’ve seen him occasionally Because he lives here. Last time he dropped in was at my sister Heidi’s wedding.

He’ll be amazed at how we’ve all changed and just  how many grandchildren my parents have now (with another expected any day… yeah Heidi!) I’m amazed how a friendship like this has kept ticking over this whole time, I guess wherever you go, for however long or short, you’ve no idea when you’ll next make a long lasting friendship.
