Keith as a boy who never said a bad word

I have finally found time to sit and have my supper break, although I have nothing to eat. I just took a piece of bread from the kitchen (which I don't normally do) because I didn't have a choice. I am very hungry. Most of the time, I write to you on my break if I am at work because otherwise I won't be able to do it. Luckily, something almost always reminds me of you so it's easy for me to think of something to write. And besides, I (eat) and type quite fast, so half an hour is mostly enough for me to do both.

I must say, this week has been one of my busiest days at work. And today is perhaps the worst. I started counting the days I have left in Bristol last night, I don't think it is helping me at all though. Either that or probably because according to my friend, it's hard for me to forgive and forget.

Anyway, I was almost going to say something stupid at someone, but you, my little angel kept popping in my head. And everytime I get to where I want to blow my top and swear at the top of my lungs, you were there to stop me. I don't know why, but in the middle of a very stressful situation you seem to be always there to tap my shoulder, telling me to calm down. Ah, I was going to swear because I was so frustrated. I was quite angry, but then I thought about you. The realization that you never said a bad word stopped me from opening my mouth. I thought you would not be happy if I swore, just like when you heard Ading Linus said a bad word for the first time. You couldn't even say the word, even if you were just making sumbong to Mama and Inang. You had to spell it to make it sound better. Weird eh.

I don't really know what kind of a human being you were. You seemed to be kind of weird for being mysterious, but we all know that there was something special about you. Ha, I can't really wait until you finally talk to us and tell us exactly who you were. I am still holding on to my friend's belief that you were sent to earth just so you can experience life here. You really didn't belong here. In other words, God only allowed you to experience how it was like to live as a human being, then took you back when He realized that your purity is at risk of being stained by worldy things.

Oh well, whoever or whatever you were, we would have loved you just the same, if not more. I am missing you.
