Long Distance Friendship

It has been an interesting week. Many ups and a few down. But that's life. We need to go through the 'downs' for us to better appreciate the 'ups'.

Overall, life has treated me well. Syukur Alhamdulillah. Despite every thing else, Allah telah mempermudahkan segala nya. I am forever grateful. No matter how bad you think it is, there are others who are facing much worse.

Anyways, highlight of the week is meeting up with old friends who has moved to other countries. One in Perth, Australia and the other in Ottawa, Canada. It feels good to catch up. Even though for a short 2 hours.

We were together in the earlier years of our working life. What I remember most is the time when we used to play tennis together. Along with a few others. We used to do that a lot. Almost every week ends and sometimes after office too. At one time I was very passionate about this game. We even got a professional coach to train us. And if I am not mistaken, its during this time that romance blossomed for one of them. And they are now happily married with 3 grown up kids in tow. Tee hee....

Friendship like this is one of the blessings in my life. Through long distance communication we are still able to keep the relationship going. When we see each other after months or years of absence it still feels like old time. There is no awkwardness from the separation. There is still plenty of joy and laughter.

Thank you my friends. May Allah bless the two of you happiness in this life and the hereafter. And keep our friendship lasts forever. Ameen.
