Your Mom was one of the first persons I met when I came to Liverpool. She curled at 5:15 so being Newfies we became instant friends. A few days later a knock came on my front door and there she was. Like a good Newfie she says I came to have a chat as I know you must be lonely and missing home. We became friends and even tho we didn’t see each other a lot the connection was always there. SI
