The last few days, events have unfolded in my life that has made me a) sublimely happy and b) eternally greatful to my best friend, Rehana.

Onto my best friend, Rehana. I have only met in person with Rehana a handful of times in my life, but her role in my life is as imperative as the breath I take. Over the years, she has continued to be my rock, the one constant in my life. Any time of the day, she is always only a phone call away. I am always greeted with unconditional love and rock solid support.

I’m not sure what went through my mind when I got in touch with someone who had once been dear to her, and events have unfolded so quickly and in such a haze that I myself am unsure on the details. But, long story short, without intending to, I jeopardised my friendship with one of the most important people in my life.

I won’t go into too many details, other than to say that I am the luckiest person alive to have such a friend as her. She has shown understanding, and more so, she has forgiven my wrongs simply because she wants to see me happy. I’m a big believer in karma, but I doubt that a thousand lifetimes of noble work would merit having a friend like her in my life. I am truly blessed and eternally greatful to her and for her.
