Who would have thought you will return to a far flung city in America to visit your son and daughter-in-law. In Greensboro of all places, where you stopped to visit over a decade ago on your first trip to the US.
And who would have thought…Your acts of kindness to a family newly arrived in your country is a thin thread of grace that will link two hearts several years later.

I will remember the time when I felt so alone and far away from you. I will remember the desire that kept me from despair in the time I was waiting. I will remember the moment when we were certain of our love.
[How wonderful to be reunited with friends from childhood past. Friends you may not see for a long time, but know you can pick up where you have left off last. Friends you can laugh about "the good old days" ...as Kelly said, the iyakan, tampuhan, chikahan at mga kilig moments. Friends whom you can freely share your heart with. Friends who know your heart.
How would you summarise twenty years of friendship in a neat little paragraph Fed? We have had so much to draw from in our collective past, but now we find ourselves moving in diverse circles of influence, scattered in different cities around the world. Spending time with each other this spring made me realise how much I cherish and long for our friendship to continue.
A friendship that last a lifetime stand on the strong pillars of loyalty, forgiveness, honesty and dedication. Here's to another twenty years and more of celebrating successes, sharing the burden in difficult circumstances... to laughter, memories, and love.
