I will remember her

I'm a little chatterbox these days and so it was nice to find someone who is like minded in the young woman I met this morning in old Montreal.

She was from India and now living in Singapore. Her sister lives here and she told me how lucky I was to live in a beautiful city. 

She is a 33 year old systems engineer, well-spoken and sparkly eyed and we talked about how our technical professions have changed and how life has as well. She has only recently found a partner who she hopes she can make a life with. 

I cannot overstate how much I love these impromptu exchanges with souls who are open and kind. 

"I will remember you Joanna" she says warmly as we part company. 

I will remember her as well.
