"So many faces in and out of my life; some will last, some will be just now and then. Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes. I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again."
It is inevitable. Someone has to say goodbye first. Painfully as it is, I was glad it was him who said goodbye. With that being said, I guess I just wanted to nurture pain more. I don't know if I am just a lost soul or sadness just makes its way to completely sweep me off-unaware, untamed...uninvited.
I always tell him, for whatever is worth, he was good, in fact, he was better than good. He won't be hearing complains from me. I just thanked the pure friendship that he offered. I still wish him well. Hope for the best. For him, for his family, his chosen career. I just pray time and time again that he will be able to be sustained with life-saving courage for his kids' sake. God knows how talented he is and I support him all the way! I do hope that he will also learn to love himself,see himself how worthy he is, how valuable his total self his,just as much as I value his craft, his talent.
So to my friend...I told you time and again that I will stay until so tell me not to. I guess this is the time. No need to read between the lines. But as what Charlie Brown told Snoopy, "Are you upset, little friend? Have you been lying awake worrying? Well, don't worry... I'm here. The flood waters will recede, the famine will end, the sun will shine tomorrow...and I will always be here to take care of you."

Hi ahgong,
I sure wish it was the latter. But it was actually the former. We're okay now. Eventually, he was not able to completely walk out from our friendship and it is a good thing for both of us.

Oh wow what a beautiful soul you have, a wonderful way of thinking, not too many would think in this way...but you are right friends will and go right through our lives, I have lost a few in various ways over the last couple of years, your way of thinking inspires me... thank you.

Hi lilaclady,
Thank you so much for the comment. Actually, it is the other way around. You never know how your response lift up my spirits today. I woke up this morning feeling numb, my eyes so tired of crying that I thought there was no longer tears falling from my eyes anymore...until I read your response.
The thing is, I really miss this friend but if I wanted to value our friendship then I have to respect his decision to leave. I miss him today when something really good happens because I want to share it with, no matter how silly it was. I miss him when I laugh because I know he will make my laughter grow even more... But you know... I can only do so much...
Last wish for him is for him to make it big... When that happens, then I 'm totally happy.
Thank you so much for this upbuilding response!
