reunion

It started with a LinkedIn message and my caution. Then trust we talked and laughed. I felt like the 20 something I once was. He remembers me with rose coloured spectacle but it was lovely to be thought of that way. 

He was thrilled to hear I had a daughter, I'd confided in him of my worry she fear of passing on VHL, and I was equally delighted to tell him she doesn't have the gene. He wanted to know about my health. He wanted, I think, to know I was ok in all sorts of ways. 

How lovely to have someone care for so many years and enjoy the positives I've achieved. 

I felt a tinge of sadness that he couldn't confirm that he's been joyous too.
