Eulogy to Annie

As everyone probably knows Annie is my best friend. Why? Well it’s cus we’ve always BEEN that way ever since….. since…… how old were we Annie???

See!!! I can’t even remember!! I’m guessing ever since we were toddlers, we grew up together at the old TC until my family moved when I was 6 traveled all over the country and finally met her at a fellowship 6 years later! (yes, it’s my fault we weren’t together for all those years cus it was MY family who left!). After that we saw each other on rare occasions until her family moved to Indonesia. And just last year she came back again!! I was so happy, like totally elated!!!

I dug up some pics from the "Old days" I think in this one we were like 6???

Check this one out!! 10 points for the person who can find both of us (and for any one who can't, I'd say your a bad seeker.)

Now for some appreciation time!! Annie is a super excellent cook, she can sing and dance, she can make the sweetest, sincerest faces, she's got a beautiful smile and a beautiful heart and.....there's just so many more I don't have time to say it all!!!
So you can imagine my reaction when I she bid me farewell, and if you can't imagine, it was quite disheartening. She told me a few months prior that she'd be going somewhere but when it actually came time for her to leave it was like "You can't leave now!!! thats way too soon!!". We were going to go see her on the day that she left but her flight was at 7am and she'd leave for the airport at 5 so there wasn't a chance to say last goodbyes in the flesh (oh right, we don't say last goodbyes cus it won't be!). Anyway we had a late night conversation at like 12:00am and all the while I didn't want to believe it. But the next day I knew it was real because there was no smiling Annie in an apron to greet us at the door, there were no yummy scones for lunch and there was no Annie to talk to during the day.

Here I leave you some memorial pictures to always remind us of her.
