I would like to share a surprising encounter I had just last month. On a sunny afternoon, I decided to take a walk in the park near my house to relax for a while. As I was strolling along, I noticed someone in distance who looked oddly familiar. At first, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. But as the person came closer, I suddenly realized it was my childhood friend, Dreyhon, whom I hadn’t seen in years. We were both shocked and absolutely delighted by this unexpected reunion. We quickly sat down on a near-be-bench and started catching up. We talked about so many things, our kindergarten days, the teachers we loved and didn’t, old friends we used to hang out with, and even the silly songs we sang and dances we performed during break times. It felt like no time had passed at all. Before leaving, we exchanged phone numbers and added each other on social media. We even made a promise to stay in touch regularly. Honestly, it turned out to be one of the most hurt-warming and unforgettable days I had in a long time.
