This story is about a strong friendship
A met Jack at school, we had classes together. When we first started talking i knew insantly we would become friends. We had fun whenever we hang around together, sure there were times that i hated his gutz but i got over it, we were best friends. Yep me and Jack. Even ask anyone they would tell you that me and him were like brother and sister.
But time made us grow and started to fall apart. After graduation we promised each other we would keep in touch and visit each other whenever we can.
I went to university overseas, to study law, while Jake stayed in Australia to become a teacher. i missed hime so much when i was overseas. We wrote letters to each other and we talked over the phone at times. But we lost touch over the years.
i come back to Australia to see every thing changed, i met some old girlfriends and they told me Jack has gotten married, I was happy for him.
That night back at the hotel i started thinking what if i stayed in Australia? Would i have had a relationship with him? then I thought it was the right thing to do when i left Australia those many years ago.
I went back to America and work for a firm in New York. Many years have gone passed, I have gotten married with a lovely man called Clint. He wanted to go to Australia for a holiday. So the next year we went. I decided to go visit Jake and see how he was. When i got to Jakes house i was scared, what if he forgotten who Iam? Maybe he doesn't want to see me?
I knocked on his door, and a boy opened the door. i asked if i could see Jack and the little boy told me to hold on. When Jack come all the years we had apart were gone, i felt that only yesturday we said goodbye. He told me o come in and sit. He had pictures of him and his wife and also his boy.
We started talking for hours when i had to leave i told him i'll be staing in Australia for a while so we could spend time together, he sad that would be great.
We went to the city and spent lots of the time talking and looking at the muesums, he told me he had to tell me something but he couldn't bring himself to tell me, i keeped tell him to just tell me, but he kept saying he couldn't bare to tell me. We spent as much time as we could together like the old times, I had a nice time with Clint and our holiday was nearly over and Jack hasn't told me what he wants to tell me.
A day before I went back to America I went to Jacks house and wanted to say good bye, Jack told me to come inside, so I did. He told me he had cancer and he was dying. I was shocked and i offered to do something for him but he told me there was nothing that anyone could do, I told him i would stay in Australia to be by his side, He looked happier when i told him that.
When Jack died it was the saddest day i ever had, i was there by his side with his wife and little boy.
I went to the funeral, after the service and stayed by myself. I stared at his tomb for awhile and said' I have always thought of you being a brother to me, and i will always think of you, &i will never forget you'
