Today I said good-bye to a dear friend. Hozumi left Saipan this morning for Singapore to meet up with her husband, Bryan. We knew the day and time was coming when she would finally leave the island, but it is never easy to say good-bye when that moment comes.
For the past several weeks we have had long talks over breakfast at Shirley's. We shared stories, disappointments, heartaches together, frustrations, faith, and good memories. We laughed, cried, and encouraged one another to keep our chin up and keep going. We promised to pray for one another.
I admire my friend for so many reasons. She is beautiful and kind. Thoughtful and generous. Elegant and stylish. I will miss having her near. I will miss our morning talks at Shirley's.
Dear God, please take care of my friend. Thank you.
