Bon Voyage, Jang! Until we meet again!
One of my three bestfriend Jang left this morning and journeyed back to the Philippines but we promised we would keep in touch this time. I was at the airport until 11:30 pm and she boarded her flight at 11:40 pm. It felt sensational during the past few days being able to spend the last three days of her stay here in Los Angeles. I was not enough for us to actually retrospect all the updates and experiences we savored and accumulated all the years but it was acceptably adequate for us to create a new bond of friendship, more robust and sturdy than ever.
It always hurts to say good bye. Jang's mom cried and I heard Jang apologized to her for whatever hurtful situation they engaged in. Tita Leah started shedding tears and I was trying to held up mines. At the airport, I succeeded not to cry but one the way home, I began to have tears fell from my eyes. It's the thought that I am once again far from a friend. First, it was Maff living all the way in Las Vegas and now, Jang, back to PI. These are the ones I consider my bestfriends. And it's proportionally difficult for me to live each day without them in my life physically, but it's rather more painful and immensely difficult because I do not communicate with them as often as normal bestfriends would. It's like having a long distance love affair. There's always the social challenge to keep your friendship intact, growing, but also firm and solid.
But the Lord led me back to my friends, I do not see any reason why he would keep me away from them again at least, emotionally and mentally. He had a purpose for me and Jang to generate new memories and reestablish a once lost frienship. Now, with these afresh pact, we can revive and relive the experience of having a genuine and sincere friendship.
I am one of the fortunate ones who have these opportunities. And I feel blessed.
Jang, I have no idea when you'll be able to read this, but THANK YOU for entering my life again. Then and now, I will still be here for you no matter what. I am so glad to have a buddy, a listener, a partner in crime, a BESTFRIEND in my life again. Let's make this one a life tiem membership.
Until we meet again, please know and never doubt that "I got your back," the same I had your back in the old days.
