was on the 9th of the month. So, I prepared a couple of days before to write
the letter so that he could get the letter on the right date. In fact, the postal
service is a bit slower here in Tanzania while my friend lives in England. I met
him when I went to attend a conference in England
as a representative of my
university. I could have sent him condolence over the telephone but instead, I
planned for writing the letter. I thought it would surprise him and it did really.
It was an unexpected event for him.
I wrote the letter to David. He is now one of my close friends living outside of
my country. Meeting with David was an interesting event for me. I went to
attend the conference and forgot to take my cell phone charging adapter.
Luckily, it was David who came to my support. He was also using the same
types of mobile phone that I was using. It was Motorola
phone set and a bit
exceptional. So, getting the adapter was a bit difficult. However, gradually both
of us developed a deep sense of friendship. I stayed in England for about two
weeks and he was like my shadow till the last moment of my stay there. As I do
not maintain a social networking account, I maintain
telephone to contact with
people inside the country. David was the only man whom I wrote the letter
and it was for the first time.
The letter was about condoling him on the anniversary of his father. When I
met him, I came to know about his father. He, in fact, was fascinated with the
qualities of his father. And he wanted to be like his father – who was a police
officer died on duty. So, I tried to advise him on some specific issues. He was
too soft hearted. Thus he always remembered his
deceased father in every
time. Besides, it was a bit troublesome for him to forget the memories of his
father because he adored him more than his mother. His father did a good
number of things for David. But lastly, he died during a chase. The event was
difficult for David and his family members to bear with.
My letter was to
console him about the issue. in fact, it was the first death anniversary of his
father and the memories were vivid. So, I tried to heal his wounds a bit.
It was a bit difficult for me in the beginning to write a letter. I am not
habituated with writing letters, rather I prefer communication with e-mail and
other communication modes. But this was an exceptional case. Everyone
becomes happy with the letter from the near and dear ones. Based on this
ground, I had to take the trouble of composing a letter.
But when I finished the
letter, I became happy. I could imagine the smiling face of David and he is
reading my handwritten letter. Such a beautiful view gave me immense
pleasure. David made a phone call after receiving the letter and told me how
happy he was. Really it was a great return for me.
