It's Always Nice to meet You
« on: November 23, 2008, 03:21:31 AM »
We were just out at a local Indian restaurant and I was admiring the novel way a dad arranged the high chair upside down to accommodate his little one's car seat, and thinking to myself "could that little one be a child I know about?" when the mom turned to me and said, "are you Andy?"  hehe, yes It's me. So, I just met hopefulmommy and her husband and their darling little girl.  :biggrin  Their child is adorable. So happy and healthy looking. It's funny. I knew they lived in the area and we have even discussed meeting up some time and I kept having the feeling I would run into them because we do go to Indian restaurants quite a bit, and sure enough, it happened. They are really nice people. I am always so happy to meet people at conferences and have made such good friends like Danny and Mam, Ambareen and her family, Puja and Vishal...wherever I go meeting everyone is the best part of it.  :happyyes

All we are saying is give thals a chance.

Sometimes , God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes , He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes , He sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes , He sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes , He sends us illness so we can take better care of our selves.
Sometimes , He takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything we have.

What about Australia?  :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl

Well its always good to meet up with new people around the world who are going through the same thing as you are or who have a child who is going through the same...

Sharmin if I could come to Canada I would be there in a hearbeat....

Just not possible now for me..

I am having some minor side effects from exjade at the moment and I am not liking it at all... The last few weeks have not been good for me...Hence the abscence in my replies...

I hope to be on top of things soon...
Take care all

Smurfette,

I hope that you are okay.  You are in my thoughts and I hope that the side effects subside really quickly for you because Exjade works so wonderfully.  I am hoping things get better right away.   :hugfriend

If you come to Canada you are always more than welcome to come stay with me Smurfette & Zaini :) 

Sharmin  :hugfriend :hugfriend

Yeah, it was GREAT to meet Andy and his wife all of a sudden that evening.

When we went there it was pretty late, the resturant lady said , 'we are closing soon, would you  you want to order a take out?' We were so tired, we said no, we'll eat and go. 

And once we were inside and settling down, what a pleasent surprise was awaited us.
Andy, it was really nice to meet you guys.

This forum is so lively, it feels as if we know each other,  its great to be here.

best wishes.
