I don’t know if there’s such a thing. But yes, I’m having a post-holiday blues. So blue even my long-deceased friend I am missing. I heared our song this morning and it made me even bluer. We started becoming friends when we sat next to each other in Probability and Statistics subject when we were in college. It was a summer engineering class and not medical assistant training school, by the way. We were both in our third year and we got the same score on our first quiz. That’s how we started talking to each other. We became really close.
We graduated 2 years later and went our separate ways. He worked in a different office, at NIA (National Irrigation System) Regional Office. That time, when we just graduated, Caraga Region was newly formed so they were hiring a lot of fresh graduates. My batch my one of the lucky batches to get a job in a government regional offices. I was hired to work in DPWH (Department of Public Works and Highways). We all got different jobs but the same work scope.
Well, in spite of different locations, we still managed to meet from time to time. We would always go for a night swimming. I realized that only Filipinos do night swimming coz when we introduced it to our foreign friends they were surprised we did that.
Anyways, Joseph was the closest guy friend I ever had. We were on the same wave length. But he passed away when I was in Thailand. Sometimes, I take responsibility over his death. Not that I killed him. I think I gave him less hope. No hope from me, if that was the right way to say it. I shared with him the true Hope though. But he wouldn’t listen. Of course, I couldn’t tell you the details of the hope I deprived him of. I respected him so much I promised not to spill out his problems even after his death.
I miss him so much.
Our song was played this morning.
Missed him even more.
Dear Joseph, wherever you are, you are badly missed.
