We have each other...
Me: "Is this your first time to Singapore?"
Diana: "Yes. In fact, this is our first maiden voyage on an airplane. We will set off to Manchester after a two and a half day stay in Singapore visit our son who is lecturing in Nottingham."
Me: "Do you know anyone in Singapore?"
Diana: "No. We don't know anyone in Singapore (laughing heartily behind that pair of sunglasses). But not to worry (looking at Ron), we have each other..."
The conversation goes on...
"We have each other..."
The sentence never fails to resonate in my head. Such majestic combination of words that can only be spoken with love from the heart.
I met Diana and Ron, an elderly couple from the countryside of Sydney when I was working in the aft cabin (en route from Sydney to Singapore on 1 May). Diana wore a pair of sunglasses. Ron sported a balding head and a white beard. Both of them were tall and were sited near to the aircraft galley.
Diana and I first exchanged smiles when I was in the midst of preparation for the first meal service. There was something about this lady that prompted me to strike a conversation with her and we only exchanged words after the first meal service. She exuded wisdom in every bit of the conversation we had. Diana and Ron were extremely warm, friendly and kind, and so unlike the arrogant and ignorant city goer.
We bid each other goodbye and parted ways when the aircraft landed. The meeting left an indelible mark on my memory and it is comforting to know that wonderful people are always around us. Diana's words 'we have each other' struck a chord in my belly and provided an inspiration to write this journal.
"We have each other..."
Leonard and I exchanged rings two days ago. It marked the beginning a journey embarked by two people of one heart who have decided to live their loves together. The ring symbolizes a neverending journey and it is this mission that Leonard and I want to undertake.
It is a miracle that we are together. We have been pure acquaintances for the past one and a half years, and never once spoke anything more than a 'hi' and a 'bye'. He thought I was egoistic, proud and arrogant. I thought he was promiscuous, broke and immature.
Superficiality breeds contempt. A new proverb I devised from the wisdom I gained in this whole new episode. Both of us were just plain silly in making assumptions.
"We have each other..."
So much of emotional security, mutual understanding and pure love we find in each other. We indeed have each other and know we can count on each other. I cannot but have to agree with my heart that he is the right person for me...
Looking forward to spending this weekend with him...
