a special friend

Friends pick us up

when we fall down,

and if they can’t

pick us up,

they lie down and

listen for a while.

I remember the day when I met Harmony. It was around 6 am and both of us were standing in a line in front of a local school to register our little ones for kindergarten. It was quite cold and still dark outside. We talked the whole time while waiting and we found out that we have a lot of things in common. We became friends very quickly.

We supported each other during our runs together,

made plans for running a half marathon together (which unfortunately we didn’t at the end due to Harmony’s health issues at that time. But I still have her congratulation text message saved on my cell phone after my finish),

we spent a Thanksgiving together,

went for photo walks in downtown Vancouver during our lunch breaks,

spent hours and hours on daily commute together (and oh my, did we have a lot of fun so many times).

We do coffee dates.

She is one of the most creative persons I’ve ever met. She taught me how to knit. She makes special handmade gifts.

She is so caring, loyal and always ready to be there when needed.

She loves purple.

Harmony and I started a blog together where we capture motherhood through the lens.

She definitely lives up to her name. When you are with her, you are in a harmony.

I  just love her! She is my very dear friend.

I am so looking forward to spend more amazing moments and create endless memories with her.

She will always have a special place in my heart.
