she's leaving home...

Wednesday morning at 4 o'clock as the day begins in Singapore, As most of us were still in dreamland, Liza, one of my closest friends, and her son, Adam began their long journey to a new beginning. A new beginning in the United States.

It was not easy letting her go but she is an adult and you can't tell your friends to run their lives. Tears rolled down our eyes when we had our last dinner together on Monday night, Despite trying hard not to let that happen. Sending her to the airport was not an option ... flood of tears would be too hard to handle.

No more spontaneous nights out on weeknights when one of us has had a stressful day. No more talk over coffee on the weekends. My world has changed. Nothing's the same now. First was Sal - left for Dubai with her family - work reasons
Now, Liza..... the close friends I have are numbered.

C'est la vie but this is not good bye... this is au revoir!
