THE MEANING OF FRIENDSHIP

I do agree with the above meaning of friendship. We have lots of friends but can we really consider them as our REAL BEST FRIEND? Someone who we can talk to anytime we have a problem? Someone who really care about us? Someone who we can really trust? I'm saying this because nowadays, it's really hard to find someone like that. I know that nobody is perfect! That's why we need to look for the right person.

I just want to share about my feelings towards my ex-schoolmate, ex-church member, ex-colleague who became my VERY GOOD LISTENER @ BEST FRIEND, Late Marie Assunta Peter. I've known her for a long time but we became close when we work together in Borneo Nature Tours S/B, Lahad Datu.

There's something special about her. She's not perfect of course but she's always be there whenever I need her. What I really like about her is SHE'S A GOOD LISTENER! When you share your problems with someone, don't expect her to settle your problems. The important thing is to be a good listener. I'm so glad each time after I share my problems with her. At least, I have someone to talk to anytime, yeah ANYTIME! But too bad, now she's gone and I miss her so much.

I do have many other friends but nobody can replace her. Know what I really miss about her? Her lovely smile every morning she came into the office. Whenever we have free time, we always talk about our own family, our kids and sometimes gossiping about others..ha..ha..While waiting for our hubby to fetch us, we will sitting in the dark, watching scary movies in the office or just sitting and talk, talk, talk.

Believe it or not, after her death, I'm still working in the office until late in the evening while waiting for my hubby to fetch me. Sometimes I feel scared but most of the times I feel so lonely without her. I might be crazy but sometimes I will talk to her and pretending like she's sitting in front of me.

I'm not the only one who miss her coz I know, she's very kind to everybody. Eventhough she's not here with me anymore but she's always on my mind. Thanks for the friendship, Late Marie Assunta Peter.
