Short-lived Friendship

Long time ago... someone told me about people whom we met who leave footprints in our hearts.. Some will stay just for a moment, some for a season, and some for a life time.

Recently, I met a person on virtual space whom I find very interesting to get to know. Slowly I'm getting to know the person, but through the conversations, I seem to discover a little of myself too. Perhaps constancy is not a strength of neither me nor the person... Or maybe that person has too much on the plate which has to be shared with many more in the person's social circle. Or maybe I just got bored for some reason or another. Nobody knows where this virtual friendship will cease to non-existence, as all my previous virtual friendships had faded away. Only few important ones remain... they are considered as my lifelong friends. Two of them bore a son last year, and they asked me to be his godma. That's the reward of lifelong friendships - to see each other grow old.

I do hope this is not just another short-lived friendship, though our lifestyles are completely the opposite of each other. Preferences and what we are looking for in life, too, are completely two worlds apart. What I am amazed is how God placed the person in my life. So I thank God for this challenging friendship... and seeking to know His will for placing this person right here right now.
