July 16
received a very touching thankyou note very recently after the trip. it warmed my heart. *tears* suddenly realised how powerful words of love could uplife one's soul. through the trip, i've come to understand that we should live life by the moment. yes, indeed, glimpses of sweet memories and flash backs will stay in my heart forever and will follow me through life. just wished i could capture and keep all these memories in a precious treasure box which i could open up every now and then.
after reading the thankyou note, couldn't help but click the 'reply' button:
"dearest,
Such a touching thank you note. It's been a blessing to have you around in this trip too! If not for your presence, the trip could have been a more difficult one. Thankyou for your sharing. Even though I did not catch much sleep through the trip, I have never regretted those night hours spent chatting with you. If there be another trip like this, I guess I wouldn't mind going if you are going to be there. I have indeed learnt a lot from this trip, both intellectually and spiritually. I have also gained and learnt more about life through your sharing. Thanks! It doesn't matter how long/ short life is, it is good enough to know that there's some special moments spent with you in this trip. Life isn't about crossing milestones, but living the moment together, isn't it?"
