Today I went out to meet a friend for a drink. She is one of the most pleasant ladies you'd ever meet, always so smiley, so hugable, so friendly, so real. A few weeks back, she told me she was praying about going to India for a period of time. Her heart's desire. God heard her loud and clear, and praise God, He gave her green light to take off. Blessings poured upon her desire, her righteous one I'd say, and today, she broke the news that she's flying off on 1st November. The day right after my birthday...
In fact, this news came as a pleasant surprise for me, though I know this day would come that her desire be granted. Thank God for His blessings upon her. I had mixed feelings for a while... A part of me being so happy for her, a part of me feels sad because my friend is leaving and only God knows when she will be coming back. But I thank God for giving me the chance to know her, to share with her my sorrows, and for such a wonderful angel He has created in her. When I'm experiencing disappointing and dejecting situation, she had been there, lending me a shoulder to cry on, exhorting me and consoling me, and often offers me Watson's pocket tissue (the so-called softest tissue you can find in the market, good for wiping off tears...). She taught me how to love myself and accept myself better.
Like what is the title of my blog, time flees, love stays. I know our friendship doesn't end just as she flies off, but it will be there always.
Dot, thanks a lot for everything. Have a safe and wonderful and eventful journey to India! God bless and be with you always. Love you lots! ^___________^
