Paulette

Valerie and I met 27 years ago when Brian was 6 months old and her daughter Andrea was 5 months old.  Val was looking for someone to babysit and I was looking for something more to do.

I babysat Andrea for 6 months and then Val decided she wanted to be at home with her.  I wasn’t sorry to lose the babysitting job because I gained a really nice friend.

We haven’t seen each other much over the last few years.  We moved to Alta Vista and they moved to Stittsville.  Recently Val joined Facebook and found me.

It was the perfect time to renew our friendship.  We had dinner tonight and ended up staying at the restaurant for over 4 hours chatting.  It seemed like we never lost touch (though our kids are much older now).

I think this time we’ll make the effort to see each other a bit more often.
