Old Friends

After 8 years living in Tunisia our good friends have for now at least moved back to the UK and it was a joy to spend easy time with them in their new home.
We met Martin and Pam and first shared a meal with them on the day before our eldest was born newly 22 years ago. Our lives were alongside and on top and intertwined for the next 14 years. We've probably shared more of our unmasked selves with them than with any others and more rounds of toast, meals and late nights than maybe any other family down the years. Spending the evening with them, describing and understanding our separate journeys since last we met was to be reminded of grace and know that we are whanau.
