Friendship beyond time
I received a call last Saturday from my friend who had ever lived in the same dormitory when I was an undergraduate. We did not see each other more than 15 years ago. He thought of me and searched my name from Google. Thanks to new technology which make us to find our old friends who we never see each other for long time. In the past, there was not such kind of technology. When I lost contact with my friends, I had to call their former work places to find how I could contact them when they moved to new places. Finally, I can keep in touch with my old friends.
It's great time when we have a chance to talk with old friends.
When we get older, responsibilities in terms of work, family do not allow us to see each other easily. However, if we intend to see each other, I believe that we can allocate time for our old friends. Because we give priority to meeting with old friends over other issues!!!!
One of my best friends promised to attend my commencement last year. However, her boss assigned urgent job for her to do then she could not attend my commencement in Japan. She felt guilty because she could not keep her promise.
Today she came to my home because she knew that recently I am busy with making my Bangkok home tidy and will leave for my hometown soon to help my family run family business. Because we know each other for more than 12 years, we don't mind how we wear. We take it easy and do what we want as long as it does not offend each other. Wording may hurt friend's feeling then we avoid saying anything which may hurt other's feeling. However, when I lost my way, she brought me back to the right track with strong words. I am obliged to her help.
I played DVD titled "Graduation Trip" for her because she did not attend my graduation ceremony and she never had a chance to see this DVD before. She could understand atmoshpere on my commencement how it is important and meaningful for me. Even if graduation ceremony took place last year, I felt that it seemed to happen a couple months ago.
I mentioned her name in acknowledgement part of my doctoral dissertation as one of many people who is behind my success for doctoral course. Unfortunately, she never took picture with my doctoral degree. I asked her why didn't we take picture with my doctoral degree.
This is the first casual graduation picture which I have ever taken
We come up with smile picture It's unique indeed!!
Friendship is treasure... Older it is, more valued it is...
