That's how I see too Mick
Most of my real good and close friends are either living abroad, or no longer with us.
I consider myself lucky to still be here enjoying life and trying to stay stress-free.
I lost almost all my treasured photographs from way back and am always glad whenever I remember long forgotten memories. However they come into my mind.
I often write them down just so I can recall them again. Funny the silly things we do eh.
