"We all lose friends.. we lose them in death, to distance and over time. But even though they may be lost, hope is not. The key is to keep them in your heart, and when the time is right, you can pick up the friendship right where you left off. Even the lost find their way home when you leave the light on." ~ Amy Marie Walz

i really appreciate friends who remember me on my natal day. i dunno but somehow knowing your friends try to keep in touch with you whatever way they can makes me feel a bit special. its a special time to renew ties and keep the friendship bond alive.

now for those who tend to forget, there's still next year anyway. that is if i'm still alive by then. hmppttt morbid thoughts. somehow people will only get to appreciate someone when they are gone. only when everything is too late. (tampo mode)

sigh....the simple things matters. i don't care abt the material stuff... its the thought that really counts.

i remember when my dad was alive. he was poor at remembering dates. he kept a diary of birthdays of his parents and siblings (12 of them) and of his kids (4+1) still, he forgets. i have to call him up and remind him to greet me. i miss that. i miss my dad. i don't mind reminding him every year to greet me.

but now i guess i have to whisper in the wind....dad another year has passed...its my second birthday without you....wherever you are i hope you are happy. i will see you soon. i love you.
