Strength...

It's amazing how you are finding out new things about people around you everyday. People that you meet often, people that you hardly meet... and each time you do, there's something that you realise about them, that may give you a perspective to them that you have never seen before.

Something happened today. I met up with two friends of many years for breakfast today. One of them just went through a very bad breakup. I was amazed at how she was relating it to us so calmly, so matter of factly that at the end of it, I was admiring her from the bottom of my heart for her strength. Even as I felt her pain, it was only one hundredth of what I think she must have been feeling. Yet never once did she break down... If it were another woman in her shoes, she would have gone berserk. I would have gone berserk. Prob mope around in bed for 2 whole months at least.

Her strength has left a deep impression on me. So deep that I found that I have alot to learn from this dear friend. She does not only exemplify strength, but humility and a level of graciousness that I was almost awed by. I hope and I pray that she will find peace within...

I will be praying always for you dear. That He may always be there to comfort you, to help you see beyond the past, and forward to the future. To me, you are goodness in every sense of the word and from the bottom of my heart, I admire you. Hang in there...
