Thank you...
For the record.. if I could turn back time and redo the final moments I left sheffield.. this would have been what I wanted to say:
Dear friend,
I thought long and hard about what I would say to you when we part ways… but I couldn’t come up with something good. I only knew that I did not want to say goodbye or farewell.. because though our time here has ended.. our friendship is in fact.. just beginning. “We were strangers ,starting out on a journey.. never dreaming what we had to go through.. now here we are.. I’m suddenly standing.. at the beginning with you…” you know the rest of the song dont you? Thats how I would like to look at it.
In fact, getting to know you, sharing with you, talking stupid stuff and making lame jokes with you have been the most fulfilling thing I have done in my time there, isn't that insane? You thank me for teaching you small stuff like camera’s and going for interviews... little do you realize that in having fellowship with you.. I have gain so much more. The late night chats….. the jokes… the laughs.. the tears.. they supported me.. and carried me through.. and I would dare to say, its because of you… my time here in Sheffield was so much more colourful.. so much more meaningful. I like to think that a degree is not all I gained in my time here; that I would have gained good and meaningful friends. And hopefully, others would have gained something out of unspectacular, ordinary me. Among all the friends that I am so happy and grateful to gain these 3 months.... you stand firmly on top of that list.
You have a good and sincere heart, and you are very passionate about people. They call you a songbird.. and just like a songbird, you spread cheer and happiness to those around you… is it any wonder they call you joy? To me, the greatest thing you have done for me is just being yourself when you are around me and befriending me in such a sincere way. You asked me when the late night calls started.. I remember now.. I think it was the day you called me back that night not long after I spoke to you.. and you told me you were feeling very emo about what I had just said to you earlier, about the $USD. But I had to call you back later cuz I was with friends. U remember that? I sure do...
There really is only 1 thing want to tell you.. which is..
Thank you.....
Thank you from the bottom of my heart….
For everything that you have done, from the small things like fetching a cup of water, and using your phone.. to encouraging and supporting me, housing us for a week, that sweet and meaningful card, to sharing your worries and problems with me… You tell me about trying your best to be a blessing to others.. but you already are! I know it because I felt it.... Keep it up!
I have had the time of my life these 3 months.. and you have been a big part of those months dear friend. God bless you, and continue sending angels into your life.. I have you in my heart.. even now when we are far apart, and I will continue to pray for you always. Think of me now and then.. more than you would your average friend.. but less than you would your boyfriend okie.. haha..
Take care and stay safe. Till we meet again.
From the heart
Me
