Fly high, Shirlene!

The anticipated day finally came. Woke up at 3am so as I could make it to Shirlene's place by 4am. We left in her car. She wore jeans and plain black coloured singlet and had an orange colour wind breaker (You know how it is with her,right? Plain colours is not her style) Then wait till you see the luggage bag, just imagine Dalmations or farm cows ..the black and white ones) Yup, you heard me right. That's her alright. We stayed at the airport till about 8am then we hugged and said our goodbyes. I considered myself lucky getting to send her off as Shirlene is meant for bigger and greater things. I know she has an appointment with her destiny there and you just watch her, she is not going anywhere but UP, UP and UP!

She had been my close friend, someone whom I call like countless times a day just to see what she is doing. I know it sounds pathetic but hey..she gets me through the day. Now that she has left, I feel a complete void in my life. I miss her so much and I wished I had been more composed to say "I love her and will miss her dearly" at the airport. Well, I guess it must be the age. Just disastrous when it comes to saying goodbyes.

Shirlene was no exception and as a matter of fact, I feel just as lonely and broken when Omero left for Qatar recently. They are the 2 people besides my family that really matters to me. (Hah! I said the family too, didn't I?) Honestly, I am closer to both of them. I don't know how but I must be strong and let Shirlene go with high spirits. (You read this, Shirlene?)

As much as I dread you leaving, I must be brave and swallow my loneliness and let you go. Soar high and you are very GOOD at what you are doing. I am proud of you and I can't wait till you come back in 3 months time.
