The Trio is Down to Two

I have a running buddy who'll be migrating to Canada next month. When I think about it, I can't help but get into a melancholic mood because of all the experiences we've shared.

We met when we were both recruited to be part of this team of individuals who would undertake the Chairman's pet projects. After some of the team members moved on to follow their own paths, the two of us moved on to a new group. When I started running more than 2 years ago, I found out that she would also run and it became almost like a ritual that we, along with another officemate would go to UP to run every Sunday morning.

She was quite competitive and if it weren't for some health problems, she would have probably been the faster and stronger runner between the two of us. We've had our differences and we've worked through each one.

With her moving on, it just makes me think about how it will be now that the trio is down to two. I guess I shouldn't see this as an end, but instead as another one of the changes that constantly happen. And I'll now know one person more in Canada.

To my friend, officemate and running buddy, take care, be safe and happy. I am really happy for you. You will be missed.
