Last Friday, 4 of us met up before J goes back to Texas. It started off to be a breakfast meeting. It ended up a full day of chatting, talking, revealing thoughts, memories, keeping up news, sharing, laughter plus a few wake up jabs for me. One was that we started as colleagues 31 years ago, enjoyed our journey through our courtship, early days of marriage, childbirth and close friendship.
As the turn out, one got married and moved off to US, one left the profession, another moved on to another school and I was left behind in BB.(Ironically,they join the school one year before me so actually I joined the group in 1980 when I was transferred there)
J came back off and on and we met up every time she did and we saw her baby girl grown up to be a lovely princess. SH was in another school and we actually did not see each other that much.Especially when PE was working with hubby and I was going through the years in school. Each have a hectic life being a wife and mother. Years down the line, we got back together physically and the friendship blossomed again.We have all passed the half century line, our children are all grown up and we spoke of holidays together. We even spoke of morbid happenings too and how we should face it.
Well, true friendship doesn't die, it just went off to sleep and woke up at an appropriate time.We spoke of sharing more and more and seeing each other more often now that we are ladies of leisure.I don't know if it will materialised but it definitely warm the heart to think that we are there for each other.
I don't know what will happen for the next 20 years but at present all I know is that all of us treasured this friendship, glad that we are friends and want to be for each other.
