Last minute phone call from my childhood friend who i haven’t met for lifetimes ago, ended in booking an abnormally freaking expensive flight to Zurich.... did i say money will not make you happy? , next time i say that feel free to punch me on my face please !
What did i get from my 300 quid flight? A coffee tasted like acid and a tiny container of ice cream, since i am a lactose intolerant, my neighbor got this treat from me ...
Took a train from Zurich airport To Lausanne s the capital city and biggest town of the canton of Vaud in Romandy , Switzerland. A municipality, it is situated on the shores of Lake Geneva, i finally able to catched up a bit of sleep .
Such a beautiful October arvo, we met up and got some beautiful coffee and pastries , overlooking the beautiful dam and emerald water, it makes my heart so happy and content.
My friend asked me not to put her pic on my blog and i do respect her demand, i really realize you do meet people for a reason, it might not clear at the time but on the later state , the minute i have seen her face , all beautiful moment came back like a movie on fast forward... so amazing ! Can‘t believe why we never kept in touch... but maybe that is the reason to make it more beautiful when we are reunited. I almost couldn’t see her during this flash visit, i am so grateful i am fortunate enough to make a last minute decision to meet her as i might not be able to meet her ever again as she is on her way to clinic, i would paid the whole money in the world for this precious moment., i would climbed the mountain, crossed the sea and just to see her and wish her a contend painless journey to her last destination .
On this trip i have learnt we are only here for a short time and its on us how we spent it , and today i spent it with my childhood friend , i spent my beautiful first memories, climbed tress, played kites, got tetanus injection together, stole neighbours mangoes, terorizing the street with our pushbikes and made fun of other girlish girls.. where were those times gone? I demand a do over !
Whilst enjoying the hustle and bustle of Laussane townsquare , we ordered our last drink as she needs to get back to the clinic and prep her last journey , and i am heading back to my evening flight to lowland, we decided we are not going to say good bye, it won‘t be agood bye , it is a safe journey one as she will be always in my heart .. she will be always a part of my life.
i waited for 3 days before i got the phone call and lit a candle , put our song , Canon by Pechabel in D minor , i look at to the sky and smile .... Have a lovely journey my dearest friend , may you rest in peace ... God love you and you will be grand.
From today on Lausanne will be very special for me , thank you Switzerland for took care of my best friend.
Zurich ,Oct 2019
