Meeting with an old friend...

Last Tuesday this week, I received an invitation from a friend to meet again. She wanted us to meet last Sunday, but I was unable to meet her. She had wanted to bring her niece along then, with her sister's family including. And she planned to do so again tonight at our meeting time.

It's no big deal for me that we meet tonight. But ask me how I had thought 4 years ago when I just met her, and I'd say it is -- sorry, was -- a big deal. I had a crush on her then, even when I had maintained a "relationship" with another girl with a complicated love life. (You know, the one with a daughter involved, coupled in with her boyfriend who was a driver/bodyguard to an actress who married a businessman primarily selling bananas. Wondered how I got involved? Long story.) This one whom I will meet again tonight had confessed to me her secret last July... For tonight, I pray that I will be able to do something about that confessed secret.

I would like to ask for the readers to also pray for a productive meeting. I am not into Halloween and stuff like that because of its pagan roots, but at least I'm weighing on the thought of her invitation, having recalled that proverbial phrase about what is it that really counts. And I pray that I will be able to tell her my counter-thoughts on these stuff...
