February

[northwindbrat]

The man who would never see February; I've never thought of him as a friend until today. Perhaps it is too late. But what I think of him, specifically, in status, friend, aquaintance... or simply, my best friend's Dad... does it really matter after he is gone? To me, the answer is negative. The reason is because nothing has changed and nothing will

I did actually felt very emotional reading this. (Not because, apparently, Jem's dad is dead, but because your words made me feel the presence of an interesting human being and a very interesting story to be read. Of course I feel for it, but I share his words: once I am gone, too, my loved ones should move on. So saying "i'm sorry" would be a waste of time.)

First, getting the reminder out of the way.

Reading is present tense. So, for your 1st sentence to be correct, it should be "I felt very emotional while I was reading it."

Someday, I hope someone can correct me when I'm speaking/writing in another language extensively... If I could actually type whole entries in Portugese, or Russian, or Ancient Greek... wow! :D

Thanks for your comment, Ana.

I agree that saying "I'm sorry" is just a waste of time... moving on is not always availabe as an option, I think. Some people never manage to do it.

Thank you a million for correcting!!! :) And would you tell me your address, so we could write letters to each other? I can finally teach you some portuguese like this (I can even send you CDs with the right pronounciations)!

I think that moving on is the only available option, don't you think so too? People sometimes think they can't, but that is because they took no option, no steps forward. They just stayed. Staying is not an option, is your actual state. I imagine it as if "moving on" is the only button right in front of you on those circumstances.

Hello dear. I'm very glad you took the correcting so positively! :) I mean, I know you know that I mean the best, but people sometimes find me a bit too rigid and aggressive even when I'm not trying to be like that.

I will send my address right to your email! :) I will be happy to exchange things with you <3

And yes... I shall have to move on and never get to continue that dicussion with Mr. Tng about February. I know I will... But there are also things I don't know if I can live without.
