Another farewell

...I hate saying goodbye...

This morning, I and my husband and our friend Kik, drove our best friend, Miguel to the Narita Airport. He will go back to Mexico after studying in E-biz IUJ with my hubby. Before leaving, he stays in our place for like, 2 weeks, he is such a funny guy, warm, kind and easy to get close to everyone. That is why when he's leaving, everyone wanted to bid farewell to him to the airport, but since there are only 5 people can fit into our car, so, just the three of us, and Miguel.

Miguel has become a close friend to my hubby, and in these past weeks, to me. That is why, it feels so sad when saying goodbye to him, he almost couldnt keep himself from crying. In these moments I suddenly remembered how it reminds me when I had to say goodbye to my dear friends from IUJ.

Yup, life in IUJ is something that is very precious to us.

IUJ has given us a bond of friendship, which we cant find in any other places in big cities in Japan. Its so precious that our friends can truly be our family, that shares laughs, happiness, sadness and tears. Its so precious that no classes can give any lesson on how to make good friends, on how to form a bond of friendship.

That is why, I hate the moment like this, the moment that you have to really say "sayonara", "goodbye", to your dear friend, that you know there is little chances to meet again, somewhere, somehow. However, to knowing that your friend can say to you " You always have a home in Mexico" or any other parts of the world, makes you so happy, and so grateful that you can be so blessed with friends, in any parts of the world. It makes you realize that, no matter what, you are having true friends, in good and bad times, in needs and indeed..

Bye Miguel, have a safe trip, and please noted that you also have a home, here in Japan and in Indonesia..
