We met in the funniest way possible. A voice was heard from a window on my left as I walked past a classroom. It then followed with a symphony of voices, but the first one came from you.
I remember those times where all of you in a group would come and talk to me during my recess duties and run off when Hui Shen comes along. It happened every day after I met all of you. Sometimes, I am floors above you guys, but we still had conversations. :) I think we first met somewhere in March, because I only knew you for a few weeks when your 15th birthday came along :) You're turning 17 tomorrow. I've known you for 2 years now, the best 2 years of my life.
I really want to thank you, for all the support you poured to me. Reading all the text messages of advice and concern you had for me was incredible. Even with all the activities you had in one day, you always seem to find the time to help me. I still find it amazing how we can have so much to say in one day, with at least 300 texts each day, until I moved. And those walking-to-the-car conversations were always the best. Those moments are what I really miss after moving to Australia.
You've thought me about forgiveness, and that you should never hold grudges. I remember times where I could hear the sternness in the tone of your text when you told me to not live in the past, and to look at the future when I was in a clueless state. You're the Optimist everyone needs in their life, and you're in mine.
Thank you darla, for all the support you've given me, the strength you build in me, the hope in life you helped me see, and the ever-flowing unconditional love you always seem to never run out. You have always been there for me, and a simple thank you would not be able to show my appreciation of how amazing a friend you are to me. Thank you so much.
