I have a friend who volunteer care taking little old folks home, lives faraway land, who for the past 8 years had never fails to remember my birthday by sending cute little funnies virtual cards. One day got a little package from him with these note...
I know am standing in line until u have time to have cofee wih me but i send this little note somehow to let you know i am real. Time sometimes can play tricks on memories so while am here, put a date in d blanks on the air ticket and spend some time with the old folks home. U can teach Lydia to dance your sumazau, take Sarah for a walk, serenade Joe with a lulaby something from Tambunan, cares little Woopy (he got so furry).. The list is endless and if you finally get bored of those, have a coffee with me! :) So we got this 2-way ticket for u to hop on to that little plane. We dont guarantee a good flight tho hey! we will be here waiting for u with warm hugs. Happy birthday from all of us.
I was so very happy in getting that package and I promised myself I will do it soon. Days turn to months turn to years and the date remain blanks. I told myself I will do it then yesterday a message sent to me with a simple note.. 'X died last Aug, am so sorry. He was very sick'
The little note broke my heart and bring tears. Let me hop to that plane, I wouldnt know if those names he wrote in that little package are still there. If they do I will do exactly. One thing for sure I will have a cup of coffee with his memories. Wonder if this what he said about time sometimes can play tricks on memories.. To you dearie friend, May the good Lord grant you eternal peace. Amen. Guess the saying says.. good people die fast is true somehow.
