Retirement for her

Today my former colleague W. said goodbyes to a career of 35 years and takes up her pension from Monday onwards; a large turnout of colleagues and people she worked for was there to thank her and wish her well:)
3½ years ago she was as uncertain as I was about the possibilities of loosing or keeping our positions ~ mine got lost 3 years ago, hers continued till her pension now!
Over the years she's been a more regular jogger than I am; we agreed to start jogging together from September onwards and I'm looking forward to that!
