Thanks again
I agree that it has been a long time since I first posted this. No, I haven't met her since her marriage and, for the first time last December, I didn't get a Christmas card from her. Whether this was an oversight or she just dropped me from her list I don't know. Anyway, it remains a wonderful memory for me, a very special relationship while it lasted.
I appreciate all of the kind remarks this story is still receiving. It is very gratifying.
