My grade school classmate, who was also our Salutatorian, Claire, works in China as a teacher. We started being YM buddies early this year and I always enjoy our exchanges of stories, old and new that I even told her once my disappointment that we only became real friends just now.
She was going to help me fix our Grade 6 reunion when she comes home in July. But a surprise IM from her two days ago informed me that she will be coming home because her father passed away. Her expected arrival tonight is at 9pm. Nappy, Felipe, John La, Kristian, Otep, Merwin and I will be at the wake tonight. Our other classmates Rowena, Adrian and Darwin also sent their condolences thru me. I cannot imagine having to go thru this same situation. I dread thinking about it.
And having said this, my entry ends here.
