Beyond The Wild Blue Yonder






I was browsing through some of the text message on my cell phone's inbox and I noticed that I kept the final text messages that my best friend, Omie sent to me while I was about to board the plane that would take me from Manila to Los Angeles after a visit to my hometown of Bacolod in the Philippines last summer. The message content was as follows: "Bro, thanks for spending just a little time with us I pray for your safe trip home. I know I am gonna miss you...I will miss your company. Bye Bro." I was balling when I read it, sometimes it takes a while before a person could accept that someone who means so much to him is no longer around. I miss you Bro there is not a day that I wished you were still with us. I'll see you soon Bud!... beyond the Wild Blue Yonder.


A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
