Waow! Like seriously?? This year alone at least five of my colleagues will be travelling abroad for career advancement and for some of us who get easily attached to people, its usually a bit of struggle.
I remember the first time a close friend of mine travelled for his Masters program. He did not inform me until a week before he travelled and i was definitely shaken by it.
Daniel happened to be a very good friend of mine that we shared/share thots together a lot. He was very casual about it and he told me that he would be back in one year and that he was only six hours away. That helped a lot coupled with constant exchange of mails and all but its been over five years now. Daniel finished his maters, got a job and a beautiful wife and is still in the UK.....
Then there was Desola. Again, she also shocked me by telling few weeks before depature. Not like i saw Desola so often after graduation but the thought of not even bumping into her at all maybe ever again was kinda depressing! I remember when she called me to tell me she was at the airport, how i bursted into tears before i could bid her a proper farewell..Again facebook and few calls did the trick but now my darling Desola is back and better...
Mosunmola joined the train this month. Mosun is an effortlessely natural person, humble and easy to get along with so everytime we had to go on training, we were roomates. Now i have to scout for a new room mate for our trainings. Mosun's depature was a lot easier for me because she told me long before she left so i always had it at the back of my mind that she will leave and when she eventually did, it didnt hit me so hard. I am trusting on our bb chats to do the trick this.Go do us proud dearie.
Now its Adams!! My area father!!!. Even though we were first and foremost colleagues, first time we got talking one on one was at a brt bus pack. Adams had no idea i did not know who he was other than the fact that i knew his face is familiar. I did not even know his name! But thanks to the BRT's
So also is Saheed, Adura,Oluchi all easy going and intelligent people...
For me i have learnt to always look at the brighter side of it all, they are going to be better people out there and i can only pray that God sees them through the giant strides they are about to take, keep us all together and make our subsequent meetings a happy one! You all go make us proud.I'll miss you so much.
One lesson i learnt over the years first from 'One Tree Hill'( one of my favourite season movies) and seondly as i grow up is that
PEOPLE ALWAYS LEAVE!!!
