After our first meeting we saw each other more and more, and the friendship developed fast and deep.

I have learned that Leif Åge is always there to help whenever you need him. He helped me a lot after I moved to Oslo. He drove me a couple of times to Spydeberg to pick up some last things that I had forgotten, helped me out with the connection of my washing machine that did not fit, and was always there as support in hard times. He even went with me to the dentist when one of my teeth broke, and sent me flowers at my work to cheer me up :-)

Nowadays we have unfortunately less contact. We both have a new relationship, and he has a busy job. While I was living in Oslo we met every now and than after work for a coffee.  That has become a lot more difficult after I moved to Skien. But we still stay in touch through the mail. I know I can count on him if it is necessary, and that is the other way around. A true friend that you really can rely on, and for whom I care a lot!
