But what made my day was spotting a Starbucks! I yelled "OMG A STARBUCKS, I MUST GO THERE!" much to the amusement of nearly Germans. I told DH to take Arwen away for awhile while I grab a cup of Toffee Nut Latte. Stepping in, I inhale the familiar fragrant aroma and felt so much at home and quickly placed an order.
Took my precious T.N Latte and stand at a corner, suddenly very sad.. memories rushed in.. I miss my friend Andrea.
She is like the coolest, the most loyal person, most real friend I had made in a long long time. We used to have this little afternoon getaways where first we will head to Starbucks and grab a grande and just walk and talk. We talked about everything and anything and about nothing. I often came home from one of our meetings, not knowing what we actually had chatted the last 3 hours but yet feels so good, so connected, so happy.
I do not know if I will ever meet another person like her. I do not think me and her, we are like perfect people ever and even now I wonder how we clicked but it is THAT CONNECTION. A person who just GETS me and I hope I her ( most of the time at least) , that understands what I the hell I am talking about ( very very very very few people does..) , who never stood me up ( carrying her toddler to my house for playdate despite horrendous pouring rain by a cab), who has the most wicked sense of humor and her strength and courage is depthless and who is not afraid to ask for advice or help when she needs it.
I admired her a lot as a whole person, the way she lead her life, the way she raised her two kids, the way she never gives up. I dedicated this post and my cup of T.N Latte to her and our friendship. Cheers Mate!
Of course my T.N Latte did not ultimately go unnoticed by Arwen...
