Dear friends, how are you doing recently?

Everything I do, I do it for you (Bryan Adams)



Had a song that never fails to warm your heart?

My heart warmed and skipped a beat when i heard this song over the radio today. Perhaps it is a cold night and the warmth comforted me.It brought back beautiful and sweet memories..... memories when i first heard this song - sung to me almost a decade ago. I couldnt exactly remember how i felt then, but i know it is sweet.

Out of the blue as i was travelling on the crowded MRT today, i thought of another very dear friend whom i dont often contact. I dont often think of her, but today, just today, i missed her and wondered how she is doing.It has been many many years and i know she wouldnt change her number. I sent her a sms, strangely ending the msg with my name - just in case she doesnt have my number anymore.She replied saying "Tks.I'm fine too.Was just toking abt you with xxx yester.......U always like children so it didnt came as a surprise that u r teaching now.How's teaching 4 u?Plan 2 return 2 social svs sector?"
It touched me that a friend who is seemingly far away cared enough to even talked about me with someone else.It is heartwarming to be reminded that a friend knows me - my likes and dislikes, my good and bad. Bittersweet memories of our times together were retrieved in my mind.

As i ponder tonight, i am thankful for the numerous sweet and bitter memories that i had. I am thankful for the numerous friends who loved me unconditionally. I am thankful for events past that moulded me into what i am today.

Dear friends, how are you doing lately?
