Said their daughter was 7 and lived at boarding school since the wife died
to lung cancer 7 years ago.
He said he was leaving Canada at 5:40pm on Fri and would text me before he
boarded flight. I didn’t hear from him until Sat around 12:40pm
Good day my darling. I'm sorry I am just texting you now . I arrived just
shortly before mid-day, but we were delayed at the London Heathrow airport
because of some alleged security issues and it was quite unpleasant.
Wasted about 3hours waiting for my luggage. Took the city transfer taxi
service, only to arrive the hotel and find my work bag missing, just a
little bag I have some of my documentations and identity cards as well as
my credit cards. I had to spend the entire afternoon searching for it. I
went back to the airport in search for it, though I will say the security
operatives were kind enough to assist through the search but all to no
avail. They also requested I contacted the cab service company to notify
them about the unfortunate incident just in case there is any information
that could lead to the whereabouts of my bag but as far as the search goes,
there has been nothing positive forthcoming . I sure do hope someone finds
it as i had to tender a formal complaint to this effect to the immigrations
office as I am very sure that's the last place I could remember seeing my
luggages . Must be honest, it was quite an unexpected arrival for me but I
didn't want to bother you with any of it coupled with the terrible network
reception out here. I'm sorry I probably must have had you worried . Write
me when you can. I hope you had a much better day than I. ❤
