We don't meet a lot. Our schedules most of the time was the culprit of it all. Even on a special day, Christmas, New year, most of all Valentines day! chosss!But this time around it's a bit different, making our way to meet up is necessary. Although I always thought about, this necessary thing was a little too late... A little too late because we already lost someone who's very dear to us. Someone who stand for the necessary meet up... but he's gone. Gone too soon...

There are no mistakes but only lessons learned. After sometime we learned that aside from mocking each other once in awhile through SMS or social networking, we learned to check out each other especially when one is MIA. We become more sensitive with each other, not with the mocking part but more of our health and safety of one another. One time, I went MIA, I was bombarded with SMS from friendshift and lem'me tell you it wasn't sarcastic or anything I'm used to, uhmmm I think it's more of annoyance closing to anger. Hehehe! Load credits and me doesn't look good together, why can't they understand that?!Charmoist!

Moving on, after Garri went to heaven, Friendshift was more intact as ever. We do SMS-ing more often now (especially on my part! LOL!), we have several FB threads to kid or just send hi's and hello's, and (this is record breaking!!!) last year we met up for 5 times, F-I-V-E! That's big five meetings! All for the love of Garri, all meet ups was because of him!

We're still grieving for a lost of a friend and being together with this crazy friendshift in a way lem'me feel that somehow I'm with him since we're all on the same humor wavelength. Something dark, nasty humor. chosss!! This sarcastic humor is somehow contagious, we we're all bitten. By the way this sarcastic humor is only for my true close friends... FYI! So beep, beep a small jeep, wag feeling! :b

It will never be the same, the humor won't be that funny anymore, on my part it will be hard to remember that I'm not on his side when he was all weak and fighting for his life. Because I wasn't informed, what a lame excuse! Because I didn't reach out, I didn't do something, something that I should have done. But again there are no mistakes only lessons learned.



My Dear Garri, I know that you're genuinely happy now and I know you're laughing again because I'm being melodramatic again. I am super happy to where you are right now, it's just that I could have been a better friend to you. If only I knew that your life is slipping away fast, I should have been more caring, more affectionate and most of all I should have given my time to you. Although it's for some selfish reason, because I want more memories with you, for me to keep, to remember now that you're with Him. But I realize everything was just right. He made it all right for us. For you to rest with Him, and for us to learn that life is short. We need to seize the moment, to show and care people how they meant to us. So thinking again, it wasn't late after all... I love you with all my heart Gerkie! Thank you for the little yet meaningful time you spent with me. I'll see you in God's time.

Garri's Warm Family
