Today, a friend of mine passed away. We haven’t seen each other again after college (six years has passed) but we keep in touch on Facebook.
He is naturally funny, friendly and approachable. He makes us laugh with his funny jokes. I missed those days that we were laughing more because of him. He may look like a serious person if you don’t know him yet but if you get to know him he is very enjoyable to be with and hug-gable. He is very generous, religious and he always have stories to share. Yes, if he find something funny, he will share it with us. Even now via Facebook, I’m reading his jokes posted every Friday and it makes me smile.
I remember we had celebration called big event, where he was one of the July birthday celebrants. There’s joy and fun moments all around, we shared cake, foods and lots of laughs! Time passed and each of us continued our lives separately and whenever July months came I remember those memories.
Looking back, when I checked archive messages on Facebook, I just noticed that we chatted most about life, the life here in SG and even businesses that he wanted to do. Reading those conversations bring smile again to my teary eyes. I just can’t really imagine that he would leave this world so soon. I still can’t believe that he is gone.
Suddenly, I missed all of them, my college friends. I message them on Facebook and it’s really sad that it took this sad news to get everyone talking again, sharing sad smileys and reading heartbreaking messages. This pain has helped me remember again that life truly is short. I never thought we’ll be mourning a friend today.
Farewell Kuya Jayson, goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply means we will miss you. Thank you for the laughters, friendships and good times. Your memories will stay with us forever.
I just write a post to get over the sadness and pain of losing a friend.
