At one time they were very important people in our lives and somehow they fade away from our lives. <br />From what you described it sounds like Filus may have had a form of Alzheimers. My mother in law has Alzheimers and she is <br />88. Now, She does not know her children's names (though she does know that they are important people to her) My mother in law was brilliant and loving and fun and I miss her caring and nurturing friendship.<br />It sounds like you had a fabulous relationship with Filis. She was lucky to have you in her life and you were fortunate to have her in yours. <br />Thanks for sharing your loving memories of Filis. It was a gift that you gave us today too.<br />Warmest regards,<br />Annaquiltmom annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571238967019462780.post-40640119230758940982011-01-12T17:46:48.700-08:002011-01-12T17:46:48.700-08:00Thank you for telling us about Filis!

He knew he lived in the states and used to run a uni theatre. Long story short, I googled his sisters address, that connected me to an email and we found he was living in Bolivia, not too well but with us. As both are 80 they were so glad to be back in touch through the sister, even if his friend could no longer write. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023925707643985411noreply@blogger.com
