Some of you may remember that this time last year I was very lucky to meet one of the lupies from the board - Okie (Shirley) and it was a wonderful experience.
Well, we did it all over again today! Okie came to Scotland for a family celebration and we arranged to meet up for lunch. There wasn't much eating going on as we talked, hugged and cried for 2 hours solid.
We have kept in regular touch via email and calls and when we met today it was like we'd just seen each other last week. I couldn't ask for a better friend and we agreed that although lupus brought us together, we would've been friends despite it. It is so good to speak to someone that understands how you feel! If any of you get the chance, it is a great thing to do.
I don't know if any of you use Skype but it is a great way of keeping in touch computer to computer for free! We use it to keep in touch with family abroad but I've used to call my lupie friends across the pond at a reduced rate.
Our next meeting is in February when Okie comes back - I'm now thinking that we should make a trip to Canada soon to even things up! :hehe:
I just wanted to share this with you all - I have Okie's permission to do so. It was just all over way too soon, I think we would've talked for days!
Hugz, :hug:
