Farewell & Changes

Just recently, we bid farewell to a close family friend. We knew them for almost twenty years, as hubby and the head of the family were course mates in the university. We attended their wedding ceremony, celebrated the births of their children and went for holidays together. They will be moving overseas to take up a new posting. Our hearts felt heavy on their departure but we are also happy that they will be venturing into newer and greener pastures. But we still have those twenty or so years of good memories. It seems strange that many a times, we meet some people whose lives leave a deep impression on us, while others just touch us for a fleeting moment. We can only pray the God will continue to bless and keep them.

On the other hand, we are also adjusting to some changes in our lives. Hubby will be leaving for his new posting in Malacca by March . Ruth and I will be staying back in Bintulu until she completes her form three. He will be coming back to Bintulu once a month. As such, there will be minimal interruption to Ruth's education and I can keep my job for another two more years before opting for early retirement. . . . .
