All week I have been meeting Beth's friends and she has many amazing friends, just as I do.Today we made our excursion to Niagara Falls in a Mini, owned by Louise and driven by her lovely son Corey.That was very kind of them as it is a long way and Beth no longer owns a car having become a serious cycle commuter. What is extraordinary is that Louise and Corey have only known each other for a month as he was adopted by another family at birth, 46 years ago, when Louise was 16. And, apart from the obvious differences in size and age, they are like twins, so alike in body and soul it is uncanny.
Louise is a bright and sunny person who travels the globe to talk about HIV and community health care. She wears yellow, has blue fingernails and doesn't like water, but we all went out on the boat together. She said she hadn't done this with her son before. To catch up with 46 years of motherhood is a quite a challenge.
