Being from America caused Veronica and I to be long distance friends for most of our 25 year friendship but when we talked on the phone, emailed, or got one of our 12 chances to be together, we had the caring relationship of sisters. We met when Veronica can to the US on a Head Master/ Principal visit. We hosted her for a week and the rest is history. We were travel buddies, joined by love of reading, education, and history, and shared our families with each other. Such friendship are hard to come by but I truely cherish ours.
