Did you miss hearing from a friend or relation this Xmas, and are wondering what has happened to him/her? I haven't heard from two people, one of whom I've known 59 years! It's very sad that their relatives don't let us know so that I keep wondering whether this person has passed away or just ill. Am I alone in these thoughts I wonder! Sylvia xxx

Sylvia, this has happened to my parents this year. They sent a card to a couple who they had practically grown up with - then received one back from the husband to say that the wife had passed away back in August! Of course they felt awful, but I tried to reassure them that they weren't psychic! Mandy x

Well, at least you know, I still don't. Maybe I'll pluck up the courage and phone them. Sylvia xxx
