I remember the time when I lived in Italy, playing with my friends,
Max, Antoine, Filippo, Carlotta, Giulio, Sonia, Margherita, Elisa, Gianluca, Nicolo, Matteo, Pete... and Eiki. We had so much fun. We were young, still naive (or at least I was)
I remember the shock when Mr G. told us that Eiki was diagnosed with cancer. I was just shocked. I really really believed that he was going to get better, not knowing the truth about cancer back then. Just a few months ago, Eiki and I had a short conversation on msn, just exchanging greetings with each other.
Just now, I opened my mail and saw one from Filippo, and I cried.
I am still crying now, while writing this post. Although I hate crying, but tears are not something to be ashamed of. I wish, that I could've seen him again. I remember we used to go on field trips together, and he'll teach me some Jap. I wish for so many things but I guess they'll never come true. Ever.
So if you have the time, go and read this post http://fipi90.blog.com/ and please treasure the people around you. Take the chance and get to know them better, for we never know when they'll just disappear from your eyes.
