親友

Do you have a buddy whom you can talk to about anything for any length of time and at the same time, the conversation is so fun and enjoyable that you keep thinking about it afterwards? If you do, you should feel so LUCKY!

I came across 4 or 5 such people in my life but unfortunately as we entered different stages in life, or move on to different things and places I just lost touch with them. (Of course I am talking about back then when there were no virtual email addresses like yahoo/hotmail/gmail and no one keeps the same cell phone number as they upgrade their phones.)

Yesterday, while I was frantically working on the tax stuff, I suddenly saw an email to my work email from a long lost best friend of mine. I think tears almost came to my eyes when I saw her email! She is only a few years older than me but she is so wildly funny, fun, sensible and smart. I still don't understand why we are such good friends when I am the one receiving all the pampering and attention from her and with nothing to offer back in return. But I guess it's not important to solve this mystery but rather how to not lost touch again.
