Hole In The Wall

We all know that, sometimes you don't know what something or someone means to you until that person or that thing is gone. We also know that, the smaller joys gives more to live than the big things. For example, small things like spending a few evenings with friends or with your family means more than something big like a promotion or getting married. Also, sometimes in a group of friends there a few people who add so much to the group that they are like the life of the group, without them the group seems to have lost a leg and can't balance well on its own. Now put all these together, what do you have: A person who adds to the smaller joys of a group of friends, a friend without whom the group clearly see that its loosing balance and is getting ready to topple any moment and also not all in the group understood this until that person was gone.

Something similar happened to my group of friends. I know that our group was going to fall apart eventually, but was expecting someone else to leave after marriage. We have already lost a close friend. Who moved on to pursue a better career. We supported that decision as it was a good one, but not what happened yesterday. It was unfair and our group is hit big time. I am not sure how we'll do without this one person. If it was planned and well know before hand that would have been a different story, but a sudden shock for the whole group. We are all broken apart a little. I just hope we can remain as a group and that even though this one person was forced to leave, we will remain as a group. We'll definitely miss this person at office, but we would love to meet up as a group and hang out, with her, sometime.
