I remember this day just as if it was yesterday!
You'd completely forgotten where you'd parked your car, must have walked a mile that afternoon trying to find it!
I laughed and laughed, being thankful it wasn't me THIS time!
Ross, thank you for soo many interesting conversations, spiritual guidance and for boosting my self confidence, when I'd needed it the most.
Till we meet again my friend!
