I have to say that your essay is extremely impressive, I hope that every single human being who had underestimated his friends and the true meaning of friendship, would read these nice words and recognize his mistakes...

Honestly, I have had a tough experience in my friendship (not friendships)...an experience which I had last year, it was so tough that not anyone could endure it apart from those who are patient and strong. My friend and I were strongly betrayed by a very close friend, this "friend" had also slandered me and I was going to be expelled from the school while I was not used to that...Well, it's a very long story that I can't explain it to you right now, but I'm about to publish a story whose name is somewhat similar to your essay's name (in the idea and the name as well ;) )

Anyhow..I don't want to hold a lecture here :p , yet I was impressed with your essay, my advice to you is to keep it up;)

Well done ;)

Hello, Miasarah:
It’s Rachel or Moongazer or moony, whatever you want. Well, I like your piece. It explained quite a bit.

- Opening/Ending: I can only say that you began your essay truely wonderful! I knew what you meant right away because I had to move away from home three years ago and my best friend stayed. You really caught me with your beginning. I think your ending advice is a very wise one and I will show this one to the best friend I don´t get to see as often as I like anymore!

- Relationships: I could really feel with you when you described the relationship with your friend. Although we don´t know him you describe him as a wonderful person everyone should meet. Even though you do not get to see you so often anymore I am happy for you that you had the chance to have such a great friendship!

- Writing: You do have a very personal style of writing which fits in so great with the message you are telling people. And you are not being flowery and therefore not distracting from what you want to show us. Well done!

- Enjoyment: I truely enjoyed this essay and actually there is nothing negative to say about it. It was emotional without being to much so, great!

- Plot: I could understand you the moment I started reading, because I have lived in different countries as well! You make it very clear and still maintain your friend´s privacy. If I were to read something about a friendship of mine I would be so thankfull to be friends with such a thoughtfull person

- Techniques: You use simple words but they are all so fitting. Nothing is distracting from what you want to say and you make this so personal be referring to your own life.

- Conclusion: This essay was really one of the most beautifull things I have read! I think everyone who has lost a friend can feel it too and I think the advice you are giving is really wise. Maybe it is a good way to remember someone you can no longer see as often as you wish or someone you have lost. Always remember the good things and learn from everything.

I hope for you that you will be able to visit your friend.
