When somebody leaves you

Today is such another not so sad day...Friday...
My friend Kuya Francis, Franco, Franc, Fran just told me that he would be leaving Shell to join Exxonmobil. The last time we talked about leaving the company was when I applied for a job, buteventually not hired. He broke the news only today..and that he would be leaving in two week's time. Heck! That's pretty fast! That's why I was sort of shocked to know about it.

Our friendship started when out of being naive in Outlook, I called the helpdesk hotline and he was the one who took the call.....and there....we became friends....

I planned to write an article in here about him...how we bacame friends...shared thoughts...things that mattered in life, etc...but, here I am..writing of his leaving the company where we both work...ONLY, it's not in the same geographical location. He being in the US, and I in Manila...He is Puerto Rican, I am Filipino..He is happily married, I am merrily single...We are different in many ways, but we became friends..good friends...

There are people with whom you share your life for a moment..I hope our friendship lasts till lifetime. Irregardless of boundaries, social status, religion....

Kuya, you know you will be missed....All those surprise calls....neverending chats at night here in Manila, and daytime to you in Houston....

I attached the image that made us close...Hope you will not forget this...

Te amo!
