That night was both a celebration of Christmas and a celebration of friendship. It started with an opening prayer by Rachel followed by my short opening remarks. The dinner then started after a prayer before meal. The celebration was full of activities. After dinner, each flat had a presentation and since I'm not living with any of my intakemates, I joined Kat and Gwen. Games were also played which everyone enjoyed including guests from other intakes. We danced. We sang Nikki Gil and Billy Crawford's duet version of You've Got a Friend. Each of us delivered a message to everyone. We listened. We laughed. We cried. We exchanged gifts and enjoyed taking photos.
I'd miss flying but I'd miss the friendships more. Few weeks from now, we will all be on our separate ways, pursuing our own journeys.
