Cracker is the word used to call a white American purely because of their color. From what I understand this is a discriminating word to label a white American. Thus, I started to call my friend Charlotte, cracky. Every time I would call her cracky, she would give me a grin look and would stop my naughtiness and mischievous behavior. But she never gets offended at all that’s why I would continue to call her crack. Hehehehe!

Happy would be one of the best adjectives that fit her personality. She would share long stories in her animated and crazy way. She is very good at imitating people especially with the way they walk. One time we were at the mall and she saw this lady walking in a unique way. She started to imitate the walk and she was able to do it with perfection and wackiness.

Amiable is the most fitting word to describe the kind of aura she possesses. She has a knack for making people listen to her and get their attention. She is a beautiful lady inside and out and that makes her more liked and loved by people around her.

Right would be the value that she highly regard as a person. She would never bend her personal values in the pursuit of what is right and honorable. She has been through a lot in life both good and bad but never settled for less and demeaning that would put her life and her family in jeopardy.

Lovable is what she is and thus she deserves all the love and happiness in this world. She is well loved by her friends here in Jakarta and America because of who she is. Whether boys or girls, male or female, young or old, gay or straight, she will always be loved because of her authenticity and genuineness as a person and most especially as a friend.

Oklahoma is located at the Southern part of America, I hope I am right with my geography. She grew up and spent her whole life in this place experiencing the beauty of life and the challenges it enfolds. She is more than excited to go back home and be with her family and friends. I agree with you Charlotte, there’s no place like home but we will truly miss you very much.

Talkative is her cup of tea! Peace my friend. She just loves to talk and tell stories 24 hours without pause and you would end up glued in your chair because you fear that she might beat you when you cut her from her very long stories. hehehe! Kidding aside, she just have the enthusiasm and energy to share about life and love, good and bad, happy and sad, and sensible and inane. Because of this, her friends get to know her more and it makes you connected to her being as an individual. But I hope she can be more sensitive of other people's reaction whenever she talks with them. Got it friend?

Till we meet again! I will really miss you my friend. I know that everything in this world is temporary and possible to happen. We may be very far away from each other but I would like to believe that one day we will meet again and share good times like we used to do. Our trip to Singapore especially in Universal Studios was a blast which I will never forget. The movie watching, shopping, and dining are some of the things I enjoyed doing with you.

Endearing which means appealing, attractive, charming, and engaging are some of the words that describe you best. I hope and pray that you may truly find all the love and happiness in this world whether from your new found love or from the new things that are coming your way. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend and I promise you that I will always include you in my prayers. We may not see each other anymore physically but I know with all faith in God that we will see each other in heaven so I can call you cracky again.

  1. Wow! Ed, you have left me speechless! I feel so honored that you would include me in your blog. You are a wonderful friend and I will miss you deeply. A friendship goes both ways... it takes both parties being true friends in order for it to be a loving, caring, lasting friendship. I am certain that ours will last all days. And if we don't meet again till we see each other in heaven, I would expect nothing less than for you to greet me with a big hug and "Hello Cracker!"
    Love you and take care,
    Charlotte
