Hope you'r having a good day today. I read on RollerCoaster Riders old threads that her H used to come round often when she was out (she was a success story BTW). She said that he was a drop-in and that it was a way of trying to maintain a connection to home, I think (I will try and find the relavant post although it was a while ago that I saw it).
L.xx
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart. And you'll never walk alone.
