Missing You

Katherine flew back to Malaysia today, another dear friend who joins the ever-growing list of people who graduate and return to their home countries.

Why is it so much easier to hold back the tears when I'm watching a heart-wrenching scene in a movie, but so hard to stop the tears when I'm bidding farewell to a close friend in an airport?

Like many dear friends I've parted with in Singapore and Adelaide...

I'll miss you,

Although we have to move on.

We'll still keep in touch,

Though your absence I'll mourn.

But for now... hush, my aching heart

Because life goes on.

Sigh...
