Moooooving:)

We've been in our beloved little studio apartment since May 2009 and in about 16 days, we'll be leaving it forever. We had so much fun furnishing it and adding little touches to make it more into a little love nest for us and now we will be embarking on a whole new journey and a beginning of beginnings. What the future holds we do not know, but I do know I want to do it together with my awesome other half.
Over the past few weeks, we've managed to sell most of our furniture and little things. I even shed some tears when someone took our plants away. We had those plants since they were little things and now they've grown into not so little plants and off they go to a new home. I hope they will like it there as much as we enjoyed their company while they were with us.

We are looking forward to a new surrounding and a new home soon. Apartment 912 will be thought of fondly.

Fragility

I was telling my friend K about another friend of mine E. E was one of my good friend's boyfriend. He was tall, lanky, patient, caring and a good sense of humour. E stayed about 40mins away from his girlfriend and he would drive down often just to spend time with her. On the weekends, he would also come pick all of us up for night out in town (and we were all not staying in the same neighbourhood!) So on the average, I would say he had to drive at least 2hours to get us all together and another 2hours for him to get home. I'm surprised he never complained (at least that I know of). Nor did he stop driving us all. E would also drive all the way to his girlfriend's house every Wednesday (if I remember correctly) to wash her car because she did not enjoy washing the car and I'd like to think that it's also because he wanted her to have a clean, comfortable and nice drive. E had a passion for Japanese cars and Hondas to be exact. He enjoyed 'dressing' the car up with such cool gear with new skirts and new shoes. As a girl, I never could quite understand all those terms and words he used when describing the details, but his girlfriend C did. They've been going out for 7years if not more. His family adored C and they got along very well. Just last month, of all places, I saw a post on my Facebook page, something about E, I went to his page and there was a post about funeral. I confused and awfully shocked when I found out he had passed away in a car accident.


I was told that he died on the spot. I cried the next few days and there was nothing my husband could do to make the awful feeling go away. Even as I'm typing this entry, I'm tearing up as I think about the memories we had, both the good and the bad are irreplaceable. There is no one who can replace him nor is there anything in this world that can take his place. I feel awful that I could not be there to send him off on his last trip and I feel bad that I couldn't be there for C.

Those around you are hard to come by. Your parents are growing everyday just like you and I are. There will be a day when someone in your life will leave you and you won't be prepared for that. What you can do is to spend time with them and make the best memories ever and let them know that they are important and that you are proud of them.
