Pictured above are former teacher and student, now friends. ATD, PRHS 2006 graduate is studying in Trier, Germany. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit her before Christmas and was delightfully treated to her hospitality, domestic skills and general smartstuff. It was a great visit.
We parted ways not sure when our paths would cross again.
Then lo and behold, 10 days later, we ran into each other in the Frankfurt Hahn airport. I was walking when I heard this voice say "Ben Brown!" Shocked to be recognized, we turned and there was Amanda and a friend waiting to catch a plane for a fun weekend. Imagine our surprise and delight. Actually running into her was a blessing in disquise because she gave a great diversion which prevented me from having a total meltdown at the thought of saying goodbye to Ben for who knows how long.
We just had time enough to grab a snack, talk "smart" about life in Pelican Rapids, agreed that how we didn't miss the snow and then board our planes. It was a great delight to see her again.
