Just when I thought blogging was useless

 
Just after the new year I got a comment on my then current blog.
Thinking it was one of the spammy sort of comments I most frequently get, I came expecting to delete.
 
Instead it was the son of a long ago friend asking if I was his father's friend he remembered from his childhood. And ... I was that person!
 
This was rather exciting in and of itself. But then, the very next day his mother, also a friend from long ago, commented as well.
 
A happy day. Oone which makes the frustration I have felt over the futility of working this blog over the years a little less of a painful memory.
 
Thanks old friends. You've given life joy.
