on letting go ...

early in the morning today, we've set off my good friend at the airport on her way back to Manila. she'd been with us for almost a week, and it was one lovely reunion. her whirlwind of a visit proved to be too short to really catch up on what has happened in our respective lives or the years that we had been apart from each other. moreso was the time enough for us to show her around Gothenburg and its beautiful archipelago down south of Sweden. but as we've also summed up afterwards, there will surely be visits the next time around ... it's just a matter of planning and organisation - already, i can't wait for it to happen. i wanted so much to keep her with me much longer ... the idea of letting go is truly one difficult thing to do - in whichever way you put it.
