A chance encounter on Facebook Marketplace reunited Renée Forrestall, 60 with a pair of roller skates she once cherished in her teens.
, Renée Forrestall reflected on the times in her life that brought her balance. Looking back, she realized a chunk of that came from her days as a teenager roller skating on the waterfront of her neighborhood in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In those earlier days, skating proved to be a welcome balm for Forrestall at a time when she was dealing with the loss of a loved one. Back then, she basked in the solitude the activity provided.
Forrestall hoped the same activity would bring a sense of balance back into her life as she was starting to become conscious of her body’s age. The new roller dome near her house, just a five-minute drive away, was the icing on the cake. “I looked inside, and there was my name written in my handwriting,” she told TODAY, adding, “It reeled me right back to my youth.”The man who sold her the skates, James Bond, lives in nearby Dartmouth. He sold her back her old skates for $40 as part of his mother’s estate sale.
