Today an old friend sent me a message via FB. She is someone I met in junior high. We were very close at one point during our early teenage years. I remember hanging out at her house, sharing secret crushes, going to clubs (even though we were still underage), sleepovers - these were the years where we would be finding ourselves; testing the waters; choosing our futures paths - which university we would be going to, who to date/marry, what career path we were headed to. And so our paths slowly diverged. But it wasn't a bad thing. It's called growing up. It's called Life.
But today "Life" had her knocking on my door (well actually, pinging me with a message). She had heard from a mutual friend that I am sick. She just wanted to let me know she was thinking about me and offer me some words of love & encouragement. The last time I remember seeing her and talking to her she invited me to her new condo for a housewarming. This was more than 10 years ago. And since then we really haven't talked or socialized. The paths we were taking never crossed but today for a brief moment we met up (albeit thru FB messaging) and for that I am grateful.
Dear J.T.: Thanks for your message. It really made my day.
Y.C.
