Random Thoughts for Tonight.

I find things I treasure the most
Are friends I made in life,
Those precious few who on the way
Shared all my joys and strife.

Their kindly words and helping hands
When troubles had set in
Renewed my strength and gave me hope
As faith was wearing thin.

They also knew the brighter side
Of picnics when it rained;
And soaking wet, we journeyed home,
A closer friendship gained.

At times we would just sit and talk,
Our secret whims to share.
We spoke of all our hopes and plans,
Unburdened all our cares,

Yes, these friends are treasured people
And treasured memories to;
Like lamplight in the waning day,
They keep my footsteps true.

"My Treasures" by April Gore

Having a good soul mate will not make your life happy forever and ever, having a good soul mate and good friends will make your life happy forever and ever. Do take time to appreciate your friends. You hear this from someone who spend a lot of his time alone over 8 months of internship period. OGM Miri is a curse. My work knowledge, skills, and experience maybe is not that much improved, nor any good compared to other's internship experience, but im pretty sure my life skills and life experiences gained is much better compared to most. Being at a place far, really far away from your home, without friends, standing on your own feet, does teach you a lot of life lessons. Your boy has matured a lot, dad.
