Farewell To Our Friend



Today, we said farewell to our dear friend Aaron L, who's going to Perth to study at an anglican boarding school. Term starts on 4th Feb and he left to KL to spend CNY with his family and then onwards to Perth. A few of us planned to go send him off at the airport so this morning, Jenny, Rachel, Hannah K and I got up early (ooo.. we were joined by one of our old gang, Waltson who just came back from KL last night) to have breakfast first. Halfway to the airport, Hannah received a sms from Aaron that his flight was delayed, so we turned back and bummed around at my office until it was time again to leave for the airport. Hannah told him that we were all busy to send him off so we could surprise him.. and when we got to the airport, we hid behind the stall waiting for him to get to the departure gate..

There weren't many words as we said our goodbyes, although there were some tears and advice. It's always hard to say goodbye to a friend. Distance may separate us, but our friendship will continue. We will miss him sorely. So Aaron, study hard, enjoy the experience, don't forget us, and until we meet again, God bless, take care. May our good Lord bless your ways, watch over and protect you and may you continue to walk closely with Him.
