Just When You Least Expect It




I was surfing videos from YouTube and suddenly a music video of the song “That’s What Friends are For“ by Dione Warwick caught my attention. I heard this song played several times over the radio during late hours but this time,I learn to appreciate the song. While I was watching the video, I didn’t realize that my eyes were already in tears. Suddenly, I just realized how my friends made everything so easy for me.

I don’t have much friends, I only have few. And these people show up in the middle of the night, just when I least expect it. People who'd patiently listen to my complains and hold my hand when I’m sad. People who would say nothing but hug me when I’m not ok. When I'm disappointed in life, I turn to my friends just before I turn to my family.

How can I forget the day when I was terribly in need. We don't speak that much. You're so far and yet just one message I sent you, you responded with the tracking number. You never knew how you were able to pull me out from darkness when everything seems hopeless.

We've been through a lot of things when we were in college. We both cried when the world was unfair. Though sometimes we had disagreement you were still there to make me laugh. We've shared fun and happy moments even though we had nothing for supper. But despite all, our lives moved and I'm grateful and happy because you are now fulfilled.

At first, I was a stranger but you've opened the door for me. You may not know but your company let me feel that I am not alone. I can see those questions in your eyes but you opted to smile to help myself smile. Thank you for taking good care of me.

Three different scenarios that I will never forget. Different people I've met in my journey called life.

To all of my friends, I never got the chance to say it but today, I'd like to say," Thank You for helping me make it through these tough years. Thank you for saving me from doing the unspeakable. I love you and will never forget you".
