Long distance friendship

This blog was posted 19th of March. I have been missing a lot of my friends. When I was working, I thought I spend less time socializing with my friends. Now that I don´t have work, nothing have changed. It is either that they are the ones who are more busier now or many of them have moved away miles and miles away....This morning, I have thought about a special friend of mine. Allow me to tell you about our friendship and where it all started. I joined this International friendship club way back in 1986. I don't even remember anymore the name of the club. They gave me 5 names and addresses from 5 different countries and I was supposed to send letters to them. All of them answered and we exchanged letters for a while, but only two of them became my constant pen friend. One of them stopped some years ago and I was trying to get in touch with him, but he did not answered back. The only one left and have been my faithful ever pen friend is a japanese lady named Richi. Imagine the time and money we spend sending cards, letters, pictures and gifts to each other and yet, we have not seen each other personally and for so many years. The day finally came after 18 years, and I found myself standing and waiting in the train station. A lot of people came rushing out of the train and it was hard to see where she is coming from-when suddenly, I felt a tap on my right shoulder and there she was with her big smile. It was a very short visit(only a night and day), and it was not enough....Last week, I received a package of goodies from her and with a note that she might visit me again next month. Wowwowwie! I am looking forward to it already.
