to an old friend

Hello Aya,


"Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife."
- Franz Schubert

Forgive my inaniloquence, as this wonderful news have come at such a surprise. Your nudiustertian decision is well appreciated, and has left me nothing but aghast at this elating development. The years have been unkind to those of the intelligensia, and discontent plagues our plight with the persistence of a keloidal scar, but that shouldn't deter us from seeking that elusive love. Serendipity is kind to those whom fate have been harsh to. I am glad you've found yours, from this immense sea of strangers, at a foreign land no less. 

Allow me to express my heartfelt well wishes for the both of you. Nothing of value comes in this life without effort, and struggle. The struggle informs this value, makes the honey sweeter, the journey greater, and the and the sun a tad more warmer (and kinder). Maybe some day I will get to meet this man. May you bring joy and support, love and understanding, and above all trust and respect to each other. 

We must find happiness where we can. It is the only noble way to love.


Les deseo a ambos todo lo mejor en su compromiso y para el futuro!

Salud!
