Two years back, when Mama and Kecil visited Opa and Oma in their old house, Mama's old friend (who dated back all the way to our primary school days) came for a visit, bringing along her baby girl, just a few months younger than Kecil.
It took way too long, but we managed to meet up again (finally) during this summer trip, with both girls obviously being bigger.
They might be a bit shy and reticent at first with each other, but it was not long before they started playing together. It only took about half an hour (I think) and a trip upstairs to raid Oma's stash of wrapping paper to bring them together.
There was a picnic for two, with biscuits and chocolates, there was a musical recital, there was even a game outside!
Despite our differences, Mama & Mama's friend had gone a long way, indeed. Sometimes, that friendship still feel a bit like a surprise, yet something I am very grateful for, and one that I would certainly wish for Kecil in the future as well. Well... I suppose we are surely planting the seeds for those lifelong friendships, even if the seeds seem to be scattered in more and further places in the case of Kecil. Ha!
Both Mamas are very proud of both girls, especially in the way they seemed to play so well together (minus ONE minor fight for a piece of knick knacks from th house), such that the Mama's can play some catching up with each other.
Thank you very much for coming, Kezia! We sure hope to see you again!
This Mama has given hope of doing a chronological series of the stories of the summer trip, thanks to the deluge of pictures. We'll just push whatever ready stories first and I'll just provide a chronological list at the end of the whole thing should you want to read the stories in proper chronological order. Cheers!
