Brought A Tear To My Eye

[Hazlinny]

.... when through a local site, and a comment I had made, I discovered the daughter of my first "real" boy friend - remembering him brought a tear to my eye. What has brought a tear to your eye when a blast from the past strikes?

Nothing springs to mind I'm afraid.

As a child and teenager I had a lovely best friend. Even though she moved to Australia we kept in touch with weekly letters and her visits back.
Then, after one visit, she no longer contacted me in any way. Never responded to me.
Forty years later I found out it was because of my mother telling her the most awful lie about me. It was a shocking thing to say. Had I known earlier I would have finished any relationship with my mother.
I'm far from a teary person but we both filled up when, during a chance meeting, we discovered the truth. I can still see the tears in her eyes and mine for a lost friendship.

That's a cheery Saturday post! :-)

If i told you, you'd probably laugh!

Go on, go on, go on.

I'm not usually emotional Gness but he was so special and maybe I'm a bit down this morning - will brighten up considerably when I watch Ireland thrashing England at rugby. x

Unfortunately we have go to The Holy Well to watch the rugby. Life can be hard.
Meeting the organiser of yesterday's float. She usually gets a round in. Today she is bringing bottles of Herbal Rub to ease the aches and pains acquired yesterday.

Unfortunately?

You must be sore after being dragged out of the Holy Well! x

Holy Well tonight, Haz? Dragged back in.

Heading out the door to go to The Bull when a chap at the bar called me over. Now come on..he said... you can't be going. Time for another on me. No idea who he was and puzzled I explained I was heading elsewhere.
He gazed into my face and declared...Jesus! Aren't you the wrong woman I'm talking to! Off with you now!
So I offed. :-)

It could only happen in Kerry! Methinks he should have gone to Specsavers!

I was worried he'd want to take me home, Haz.
He has a wreck of a tractor with a bag of fertiliser as a seat.
