Their First Goodbyes

It was just an ordinary day for Jhudiel. She was enjoying the rest of her vacation days before she goes back to school. Jhudiel is excited about the thought that she is now a college student. But she is also scared of it. She is not sure what to expect.

Jhudiel was unaware that she is in for another surprise from her dear friend Gabriel.

Gabby paid her a visit. He was there in her house to say goodbye. His Mom was able to complete all the papers for their migration to the United States. And anytime soon, they will be leaving. Gabby asked her to promise to keep in touch. He asked for her phone number; and he asked for the address and phone numbers of their other classmates.

He promised to keep in touch with her, no matter what happens.

Jhudiel was happy for his friend. But at the same time, she is also sorrowful. Her only guy friend, who is very close to her, is now going away. He would be miles away from her. She remembered her very first thought about Gabby again. And something inside her now is saying, “this is all part of God’s big plan.”

For a moment there, Jhudiel felt strange. Notwithstanding the fact that her dear friend is moving away, there’s a grain of relief she felt within her heart, soothing the sorrow inside her. Somehow, she feels that their friendship will keep on; it will remain.
