Bonding with a Swede
I had heard of people who became bonded as friends via the internet. Sometimes, even fall in love and get married. But, last July when I received a letter from a second cousin in Sweden , I had no idea that within three months, my cousin Asta's eldest son, Bo, ("Lion Bo") and I would be bonded, forever. (I think) His address included his email address, so I immediately replied via email. My daughter and I had recently visited his mom, Asta, (her grandmother, Mathilda was my dad's oldest sister). On that visit, Asta repeated many times, "It is too bad that Bo isn't here."
