Serendipity

ser·en·dip·i·ty Spelled Pronunciation[ser-uhn-dip-i-tee]
  • –noun
    an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident.

Four or five years ago I "worked" with a gal at quiltchat.com. We were both OP's in the room. Her nickname was nimblethimble. I loved this gal. We exchanged gifts, did swaps together and chatted our heads off! What a great gal. Then one day she disappeared. I tried her e-mail address and it was no longer active. Just lost touch.

The other day I was surfing the QuiltStudio webring and came upon a gals post about her friend suddenly dying. I posted my condolences. Not long after this I had a comment on my blog from someone who's blog name I didn't recognize. By now you have probably guessed it was from my long lost friend. I am floating on air! She has come to chat with me a few times and we are catching up on lost time. She has an awesome blog and I am in awe of her talents!

Faith, I am glad we happened across one another again! I am so happy to have you back in my life!

That is so neat that you have found your lost friend, People get all so busy with real life and have a tendacy to loose track of friends. I after over 30 years got in contact with a real life friend I hadnt seen since we were 11 years old, so I know the thrill of finding someone after along time.
I find we all need to make a point of emailing or calling those that are special to us or one day it will be to late.
