It is so strange how relationships ends, family can go apart, long childhood friends move in different paths, loved ones just disappear, naturally or by choice, I know a story of 5 good friends, grew up together, studied and worked together 2 of them even got married to each other, until one day everything changed, one decided to just leave and go for something that all his friends knew it wasn’t good for him but he just wanted to leave because he felt strongly good about it, his friends tried to be supportive and decided to let him go, he just then disappeared for long years.
They became four, until one of them was diagnosed with cancer and started her own straggle, the other three were on her side for as long as her straggle lasted, they only left her bed when she left, she died a hero, because she fought that monster until she didn’t have enough strength to fight no more, the remaining three were so devastated and broken that stopped talking to each other, each one of them started living in his own world, they all miss each other, but life was just to tough on them, they don’t know themselves or one another anymore.
One very beautiful day, the sun was shining and the fresh breeze of spring was breath taking, the three friends all receive a letter asking them to show up at an official office at a certain time, they found themselves together once again after so long, the questioning faces for the reason why were so frightened, why would they meet up again, and in this place, a Gentlemen asks them to come together in his office, and he finally decided to start talking and said, Mr. SO and SO, has identified you as his next of kin, together with another lady that we weren't able to reach, I am sorry but Mr. SO and SO died a hero and he wanted us to deliver these letters to you, the shocked faces took the envelops and started reading, the same letter was written all of them in a very shaky hand writing, and this is what it says:
“ Hi Geeks,
If you are reading this letter, that only means that I am no longer in this world, I hope at least I died honorably, I know I disappointed you when I went to war, during the process I even disappointed myself, I didn’t realize that I did a mistake until it was too late, I left you and never got the chance to say what I wanted to all of you.
Sorry; sorry for not being there to hold your hands in hard times, I am sorry I wasn’t there to hug you when you cried, I am sorry I didn’t share my feelings towards you, I am sorry I didn’t give you a chance to explain why you didn’t want me to go, I am sorry I lost my friends.
Love; I loved the fact that we knew each other when we were just little kids with no worry in the world, I love that we accepted our ugliness before becoming beautiful, I love that we always agreed not to agree, I loved the times I was forced to watch a chick flick just to make the ladies happy, I loved the home made meals that were tasteless but made with love, I loved the time I broke my nose being stupid and wrestling a bigger guy, I love you guys.
Bless; I was blessed to have a doctor as a friend that could fix my nose, I was blessed to have 2 of my best friends getting married, I was blessed to have a Chef in my life with a full fridge all the time, I was blessed to have you in my life.
Goodbye; I am going now, I don’t yet know where but I am sure I will see you again someday, I hope not soon but you must let go too, and know that I will be waiting for you as long as it takes, I will be there”
No matter where we are or what we do, Love is the only thing that has the power to keep us together or apart, always give it a chance and remember life is too short, love, live and hope for blessings, don’t be afraid to say I am sorry, you might not get another chance.
