We had a "Friendship Feast" in Carrie's house right after school today. It's supposed to be held next week for Thanksgiving but since many in the group are going to Khao Yai for the Sunflower Festival next week, it was decided to move it to today instead. The feast was a celebration of friendship, of the good and tough times we've been through as co-teachers and as friends. It simply feels very good to be around this 'family' in this part of the world. We enjoyed the food and more so the turkey, which despite arriving late, was well worth the wait.
Nailah and I had to leave early though because we had to watch the Upper School Wind Ensemble Concert. And wow, our students really made us proud! They were great!
This week has been the most trying week, it started in tragedy, it ended in a celebration of friendship, a celebration of life.
I'm off to the Bangkok Teacher's Network at the New International School of Thailand (NIST) tomorrow. I'll only stay until after lunch though because I'm going with Val and Belle to Pairin's cremation and burial ceremony.
Rest in peace, little one, rest in peace, Pairin!
Ave Maria!
