Yay! I’m starting to feel a
bit more like myself as I’m finally kicking all the sickies!
August of 1998 –I was a
freshman in high school.
 |
| My teacher, Myself, Air |
I started taking Japanese
and met one of my very best friends as well as one of the greatest teachers
that I have ever had.
My best friend went by the
name of ‘Air.’ She was a
foreign exchange student from Thailand and her host family was only a few miles
from my house so we were able to hag out almost everyday.
We studied Japanese
together everyday and went on many ‘adventures’
together.
Unfortunately the 2004
Tsunami that rocked Thailand took my friend’s life amongst the 5,395 that were
killed. I miss her and am so sad that I never made the effort to save so that I
could visit her.
However looking back at
this picture reminds me of the few really amazing friends that I had in High
School and Air was the first.
OH NO, she died???? Oh sheesh.....
