They wrote to one another, phoned one another, and when it became possible they emailed and otherwise corresponded via today's modern technology. About a year after we moved west, our Jenny, who had worked and saved her money while attending high school, flew back to Nova Scotia to visit her friend Jenny. After that they didn't see one another until last year when our Jenn and her husband attended a conference in PEI and the girls arranged to get together back there. By then they had husbands and eight children between them. Lots of changes, but their friendship was just as strong as ever.
This year the Nova Scotia Jenn's husband gave her an airline ticket to Edmonton, Alberta for Christmas so she could come and visit our daughter in Alberta. What a guy! Trouble is, Alberta is not at its best in February. That didn't matter though. The girls were reunited and are enjoying one another's company for a week, and Muisifer (as we affectionately called her) is becoming reacquainted with Jenn's siblings who she hadn't seen in almost 20 years.
It's nice to see a friendship like that last so long over such a distance. Here they are now - not all that much changed in 20 years.
