Specially for you.
Saturday, June 21, 2008
Hey ADE! This is for you. You're leaving Australia soon. And I wanna take this opportunity to express my gratitude to you.
You've been an awesome leader, an understanding sister, an approachable friend. You've seen my ups and downs and you really really never fail to make me feel so loved and special.
From the moment I got to know you from camp to the moment I joined cafe, you've walked me through a meaningful and memorable journey. And this journey is something that can never be bought by anything. I really thank God for such a leader, a sister, a friend.
Even through the darkest moments of my life, you were there to care, not to judge; to listen, not to scold; to love, not to condemn; to pray, not to dictate. And all these mean so much to me.
Let alone words can never fully express that gratitude towards you.
Sometimes I wish, you could step into my shoes for just a little while,
To think what I think; to see what I see; to feel what I feel;
To understand the confusion,the fear, the admiration and friendship
I feel towards you all at once.
If you were able to live inside my mind, even for a moment.
You would see that my world is filled with so many responsibilities,
Yet so often my thoughts are of you.
You would see how much it means to be able to smile, to laugh, to feel good,
To feel free like a child because of you.
If you had the chance to take the smallest glimpse inside of me,
You would see gratitude and respect.
Respect not only for what you are making of yourself;
But also for what you are helping me to be.
And you would see how much all of that mean to me.
But one thing that would strike you most is,
If you ever had the chance to be me,
You would feel all the love I feel for you.
And once you had felt it, you would always remember it, and understand that
Although I am unable to express it or explain its depth and importance to you.
It's always there, inside of me.
I know you remembered this. And even as you're leaving for Australia, I'm happy for you as this is a great opportunity. You'll be meeting new people, going to different places and enjoying all kinds of new experiences. But part of me is sad too. I'll miss having you so close, being able to talk, to laugh and cry with you. Yet even though I'll miss you, I'll always be thinking of you. And wishing you good because nothing but the best is good enough for someone as special as you.
Some photos to bring back those times.
