In the morning I went for bowling (9). I was still sleepy and tired with dull headache, and my score was not good as last time. I took a 2-hour nap for the long night tonight. I had 3 zoom meetings coming up tonight. The first one is a get-together with my old friend, the second one is a therapist course gathering, and the third one is a Reiki gathering.
In the evening at 6 p.m., I had a Zoom meeting with my old friend of the university days. I was so excited to reconnected with her again. She was still beautiful and fun to chat with. We had a good laughter together and enjoyed catching up with each other. I lost contact with her for many years. I tried to find her and searched with her maiden name, but I could not find her. My friend told me she did the same; she wanted to reconnect with me and tried to find me with my maiden name.
I knew that she got married to a Buddhism monk. I had spent time with her husband twice. The first was when they came to my condominium and spent one night at my place before their marriage. The second was when I went to their temple and spent one night there with them after their marriage. Then I lost contact with her. I knew the beginning of her marriage life was super busy. I was super busy too, for my personal life.
We found out we lost contact for 20 years. I didn’t know she has three children and the oldest daughter is 20 years old. It was interesting to know that 3 of my close people including my brother and my best friend and this friend had their first child in 2001. I was devastated with my life and didn’t have enough room to celebrate their new born babies. I feel embarrassed to admit, but I was jealous for their happiness.
I am thankful that my friend still remembers me and thinks of me from time to time. I am thankful to my family spirits for guiding me to find her this time. I appreciate this miracle that we could reconnect with each other again. I am going to cherish this friendship with her for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Rie-chan. I always like you so much, respecting you and admiring you. I’ve always enjoyed having you as my precious company, and will cherish this friendship until my very last day. Thank you for accepting me as your friend.
