~:[CH4 - Day 317]:~ Coming Back Together

It was Friday the 13th and there were a number of events that made it seem as such from the terrorist attack in Paris to the earthquake off the coast of Japan. I was a little saddened on how some people have used it to make a political message considering the number of lives lost, as the focus should be on the victims and the families of the situation. In time, governments will go after those responsible, but this is a time we remember those who were lost and treasure those who we have. I did just that as I had a fairly unplanned day of sharing moments with a number of people, After surviving the announcing at our make up cross country rally, I head out to Red Eye Fish and caught up with a few alum who had stopped on by. It's always great catching up and hearing about the adventures going on. Then at practice, we had a few more arrive and we were able to just chat a bit. Since it was Arthur's birthday, we hit up Yojie's and while I did not eat, we were able to enjoy each other's company and it didn't hurt that I had a lot of credit and our bill came out to just over three dollars. I headed home and scanned photos for a slideshow, drew out the cards for my team for tomorrow and wrote my final message to them. Then, I randomly got a message from a college friend who was around. It was great because we got to meet up and while I had just ate a little, I was fine with taking in a little bit more at Umaya. It was wonderful catching up and while I spent the rest of the night until I couldn't keep my eyes open making cards, I enjoyed the day, making sure that I treasured the moments with those around me because they are the ones who make me who I am and the ones that should be focused upon, especially in moments like these. It is a difficult time and will be one for many especially in Paris, but together, we can overcome it and so don't forget those who have stood by your side, as they are the best part of our lives.
