I have received a letter from one of my officers today, though I am already expecting for this letter, I guess I could say that I am still in denial.
I came to this company seven months ago with only the knowledge and experience I have in my pocket. Not expecting anything but just to do my part of the bargain which is to do the job which I was hired for.
She became a friend instantly. It was never hard to befriend her, although she’s with a different team at that time, she has that sunny and engaging personality. Someone you could easily have a small talk with.
Seven months has passed and our fondness with each other grew to become a lasting friendship. She became my pillar of strength, my grain of salt, my critique and of course my true friend. Not that she’s the only one I have here, but she’s the closest I have.
Sometimes, you already know that you have to let go because it’s for the better but most of the time you don’t want to because for the fear I guess, for the fear that what if no one takes her used to be placed in your so called life. For the fear that she might forget, the things you used to do together, for the fear that she might forget the memories and worse, the friend you are to her!
So as I read her letter, and as I sign received at the bottom part of the page, I wish her well, I wish all the good and the best for her. As I sign my name, I sign with it the entire friend that I am to her.
And as I forward your resignation letter to HR, I look forward to the great beyond our friendship not just in the four corners of this office but to all the different people we will meet together or apart.
Take care Nadj, things will never be the same for sure, but I am here and just here not just as your supervisor but most of all as your friend.
