Family Friends
During my college years, I had a group of friends which was aptly called "Family Friends." We coined the term after realizing that we still wanted to be part of each other's lives inspite of jobs, marriages, kids and what-have-you.
Four years later, we have kept our promise. Though, we have not really spoken or seen each other, there is this certain assurance that our friendship is defintely alive. I cannot really explain it but it's just one of those relationships that will always be sincere and loving.
Maybe, the countless days I have spent in their company is enough to make me believe that it does not really require constant conversations to keep our friendship alive. Sometimes, all it takes is the belief that halfway across the world, there will always be people who will love you.
I really miss John, Paul, Den, Pat, Pia and Moe. Our friendship was formed during our student council years. I don't think we would have met otherwise, actually. We all came from different courses, from different year levels, and had different sets of friends. Somehow though, we clicked. We loved spending our Friday nights together. Often, after our long Friday council meetings, we would rush to the movie theaters and watch the stupidest movies ever made. :) Other times, we would just go try out nice food in the newest restaurants. :) Whatever the case may be, we just enjoyed a lot together!
Nowadays, all of us are dispersed all over the world, doing different things. However, my love for these six people will forever remain true. I miss them so much! They were constant sources of laughter, political debates, stupid facts and beautiful stories. They just filled my life with so much warmth. Everytime I think of them, I cannot help but smile and recall how good life has been to me. :)
To the family friends, thank you for that one year where our friendship was sealed. I miss all of you and I will write to you soon. :)
