Hi, Alwyn. It is quite difficult to say goodbye to you. Wala naman kasi ito sa plano natin, di ba? At dahil andito na tayo, might as well accept and wish each other luck and of course, pray for each other. Abangan mo na lang ako pag oras ko na.
Thank you for all the happy memories we have ahared together na karamhan dun pakana mo. It seems nothing could have really prepared us for this moment except through our faith. Thank you also for sharing that with me. I know the day will come when we can be reunited again and continue on with our adventures together. But for the meantime, BFN muna. May the Good Lord welcome you with open arms and be with Him in paradise. Visit me sometime. Love, Aji.
