A long time ago there was a friend of mine who introduced me to "cold milk". This morning, I was thinking of drinking milk when I realized the water heater installed at the office had not been functioning for a while. That was how I suddenly reminded of that "cold milk" and the person behind it. It was funny how "little" things could remind you of someone. Given the unique character of each and every one of us, we are sure learning new things with different individual we work or befriended with.
While making the "cold milk" I was reminded about the other things about her. I would not mind calling her my big sister since I learned a lot from her especially about relationship. She was kind, intelligent and certainly someone you can count on.
I remember our conversation a long time ago when I just had started dating my now husband. We were in the "getting to know each other stage" and I remember telling her that the reason I liked my husband was because I really feel like I have a friend. That very confession was something I keep to my heart. Little did I realize, Professing about my feelings would justified my endearing affection for him as a soulmate.It made me understand the meaning of soulmate which was someone you really feel at ease to talk to.That was how it was then. She dug into my soul.
When I was having a conflict with my relationship then, she shared her own struggle with her own relationship. We could easily relate to each other's woes since we were both having a relationship with someone from a different state. I would say, I looked up to her for some guidance especially in how she carried on with her relationship. It was rather important for me at that time because I was kind of hoping the relationship will last. Thankfully it does.
Her relationship was a success despite the long distance marriage which was not so far different from my own relationship.
I came to know her well that time because she needed a help. She said she prayed for someone to help her in managing something and I came to her mind.But, if I think about it retrospectively, God did not let her approach me for one reason only. She helped me much more than I helped her. I watched how her relationship blossomed over time and that gave me not just hope but motivation to believe that there were things that meant to be.
While slowly sipping my "cold milk" I would again allow her to enter my mind and be reminded that with God nothing is impossible as how He had show me the way to be where I am now in regards of my relationship.
I am blessed indeed.
