She's alive?????????????

[mickcant]

Where do I begin?

At 00:20 on the first of January 2004 I texted a good friend of mine in Zimbabwe to wish her Happy New Year. I received a text back enquiring who I am. I wrote back and said what do you mean who am I?

The reply knocked me for 6 and reduced me to immediate tears.

"Maria was killed in a car crash last night".

Now, I have much experience dealing with cultures where when confronted with a death folks speak matter of factly about things. I was nevertheless amazed and depressed for days.

I tried to call the number a few times and the line was disconnected.

Imagine my shock five years later, when I receive an email from Maria saying, "Hi Toks, long time since we've spoken, how are you? Here is my new email address."

Can anyone shed some theory on this?

Hello

It is terrible what some people who perhaps stole her phone will do, when I was first in email contact with my now wife she was in CDO and replied to an email to me saying she did not want to hear from me again, I was very upset but replied saying I was sorry that we were finished, she then phoned me in tears to say somone had used her yahoo id after her in a cafe , she thought she could not have closed it properly!
So we ignored the email and she changed her log in detials and it never happened again.
All the best,
Mick.
