In five years

Where do you see yourself in five years?

We hear these kind of things at job interviews, but rarely take the time to wonder about it by ourselves… I have absolutely no idea where I’ll be in my life in five years. Actually, I look back and I’m sure that myself at the time had even less of a clue of what was coming on the next years. Good and bad things beyond her imagination…

Five years ago, a countdown began at another woman’s life. Suki left her last chemo session. To be considered cured from cancer, she’d have to wait until today, the 20th of May, 2015 with clean exams and life quality.

Back in 2010, I had no idea I’d meet one of my best friends, such a sweet, silly, funny and dear person. I didn’t know that a work colleague would become so vital in my life. That we would laugh together working late at the agency, cry together when loved ones were gone and my marriage was over. That I’d forget my wallet at the bar after heavy drinking with her and wake up to a photoshoot of everyone at the bar posing with it, clicked by her. I didn’t know that we would be stuck in a plane trying to come back home after a meeting on Christmas eve, due to bad weather, and make plans for a horrible xmas meal for the two of us. That she’d Skype me so often when I was feeling terribly lonely living in another country. That our flights would take us further and we’d go together to Las Vegas…

What Suki already dreamed of then was that this day would come and that she’d celebrate. And it did, my friend. You survived. And you’ve been living a beautiful, meaningful live ever since. And we know that’s just the beginning… There’s a lot more good things to come. How lucky me to have you here…

I love you, my friend!!
