A friend I'll ALWAYS Cherish

* written awhile ago *

The first day I met him, I thought he was rather friendly. Perhaps I didn't allow the chance to know him better. 

All I remembered, was that genuine smile that filled his face as he reached out his hand and introduced himself. 

Then, that was it, I went on with my life. 

He didn't become significant, until he became a part of the team. Nexium. Reporting under boss too. 

Tristan is a tall, very well spoken, good looking man.  To add on, he is a pharmacist by paper, and he seemed to be an amazing guy. 

Every morning he comes in and wishes me, 'Good morning Jean' with that genuine smile across his face. 

And I would say 'good morning' back. 

But when he slowly became significant, was when one day, I was coughing repulsively over and over, that he got me a glass of warm water to help soothe my throat. 

I was surprised, in disbelief even. It's rare to find someone that is not too close to you who decides to take the extra effort to do all these little things. It's rare. 

By how he really became a good, good friend, was when times were hard between Sean and I, and I was so depressed and Sad. It was him, whom I confided into, and trust me, if it was not for him who gave me such a good and relevant advice that I truly needed at the time, Sean and I probably would have taken a more difficult turn upon that incident. We wouldn't have proceeded in doing the things we did and I wouldn't be moving to Singapore. 

It was in the bus, by the beach in Penang. All those words of wisdom, I will carry with me as I move on to build a life with my dear Sean and I. 

And for that, I'll always be grateful. 

I will be missing you dude, when I'm at Singapore. It's so rare to find a good gem like yourself. 

For that reason, and for so many in between, you have earned a spot on my wedding day. 

Lotsa love. 

May God Bless you  always. 

Can't Smile Without You!!!
