When I heard of Ruths passing it brought back so many old memories of another time in Zimbabwe, particularly of shared family gatherings and finding out about a whole new food group - jelly salads??! Mum and Mrs Laban were friends from the moment they first met in the immigration flats in Mabelreign. Those flats where a source of many happy memories of crazy free range times and lasting friendships for adults and children alike. Those were times I never thought would end, but when they did I tucked my memories away in a special place and moved on. My memories of Zimbabwe are closely intertwined with my memories of Mrs Laban (like Jillian she was Mrs Laban back then) she was part of the family even before Sean and Elizabeth married. The sad thing is distance and time separated us and me, being a bad communicator, did not help. Ruth tried to keep in touch but life sometimes takes a different course. As I think now I also realise that being family sometimes changes ones perspective and we stop seeing people for their uniqueness. Im guily of that and so as I sit here in South Africa I send my love and shed a few tears for a family so far away that I sometimes take you for granted, never forgotten, just tucked away I guess. Love to you Ruth and to you all who I do miss xxx
