Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

What we could learn from our yesterday ?
What's character we have been built inside us so far ?

How we make ourself brand new, when something to be forgotten ?

And we barely take any challenges in our life, while we really know that sometimes in ninety-nine times we think on one thing, the conclusion is false, then the hundredth time we finally know that we are right ?

And when we should hope for tomorrow, as we aware to do not think of the future since it comes soon enough ?

Maggie's letter in December 2005 (my true friend)

Hi Amrul,

Long time no communicate with you! Where does the time go? It seems no time since it was January and I was looking forward to another year ahead. Here we are now some 11 months later and we are nearing the end of yet another year. I think this is a sign that I'm getting older ....the years appear to go faster as you get older. My parents used to say this and now I fear they were right!

I hope that you are well. I gather from your mail below that you are still hurting terribly over the loss of your lovely girlfriend. It is still only a short time since you lost her and it will take some time before you feel that you can move on. You just need to take as long as it takes to get over her. You probably never will get over her loss totally but you will learn to accept it and come to terms with your loss. I think only then will the pain in your heart lessen.

A new girlfriend will come into your life when you least expect it. That's what happened with me. I wasn't looking for anyone when I met my husband at a friend's barbeque. Even when we did meet, and it was only for 15 minutes as he had to rush off home, we didn't meet up again for another year! He did try during that year to get my phone number from my friend, but I wasn't ready for a new boyfriend. He persisted and so 12 months later I finally decided that he could have my phone number. He phoned me a few minutes after my friend passed on my telephone number to him. We met up for a drink a few weeks later, 6 months later he asked me to marry him and then 10 months after that we did get married. It all happened very quickly for me as I'm a very cautious person when it comes to affairs of the heart. Like many I have had my share of broken hearts and you tend to be resistant to letting people into your heart for fear of having it broken again. I haven't looked back since! Things will happen for you...when the time is right.

I'm pleased that work is going well for you. You are turning into a right little Globetrotter! If you can see a bit of the world through work then you should always go for it if your circumstances allow it..and right now yours do.

The Festive Season is almost upon us. We are staying at home this year (we flew to my Mum's in Scotland for Christmas last year and went to France for the New Year). My Mum is flying down to be with us through Christmas and New Year, so that will be nice.

Will you be with your family or will you be spending time with your friends? Whatever you do I hope you have a lovely time and are not too sad. Just think of the good times you shared with your lovely lady - I hope these memories make you smile.

...

Anyway Amrul, be safe and I send my love and good wishes to you and your family and hope that you have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year (2006).

Take Care,


Maggie x
