A New Friend

I had the pleasure of making a new friend today, very unexpectedly. I was very nervous about meeting her; after all, she flew from the other side of the globe to spend time with me. Me. Me? Who in their right mind would fly for 2 days to spend 6 hours over two days with ME?

I didn't know what to expect. Because we work in the same capacity in our two organizations we have spoken via email for almost a year; strictly business, very formal. The moment we met, we smiled, and knew we would become more than business associates -- we'd become friends.

I look forward to spending more time tomorrow with my new friend, and already feel sad that she will be leaving so soon. My deepest wish is that perhaps next year I can travel, to see Korea, to see Eun Hee.

How exciting! I love it when you just "click" with someone. It is such a gift from God. I truly hope you'll get to visit her in her environment. P.S. She'd be nuts not to like you!
