Old friend

In the late 80's we lived in Tokyo and my best friend from those days was Sue Parsons, a tall blond Brit, born the same year as me. We spent many afternoons over tea in my kitchen hashing out our lives and the lives we had living overseas. Her daughter Amy was 3 years younger than Alex and 5 years younger than Jenny, a cute feisty English girl, and she would play or watch TV with them while we chatted. I spoke to them today and it was as easy as it ever was, though Amy now works in a local Police Station (doing "admin" work, she said) and is grown. We promised to stay in better touch and we will try. She's one of those friends that are keepers.
