Is this for real? Is this really your last day at work? đ
I may not have mentioned it but itâs been difficult to accept that you are finally leaving us and taking another journey. In fact, it hasnât sunk in until today. But more than the sadness, the gratefulness for your life, for your presence the last 4 years and a few months, for the things youâve done for the team and for me, is overflowing in my heart right now. If I think about it, we got so lucky and blessed for having you, Jai.
I still laugh whenever I am reminded of the first flight you took going to Iloilo. The Bantayan trip when you got injured but just laughed about it. The #baganidiaries never seemed to end prior to the pandemic. How we miss those days!
Maybe a few might have said this to you and I hate to tell you this now (I couldâve said this earlier), but you are amazing, Jai. You learn too fast. You understand things in no time. You are very responsible. You are reliable. You are resourceful. You are kind. For the many firsts, youâve fearlessly taken without a word of fear or doubt, I am convinced that you are more than equipped to nail this new journey. May these words fuel you with confidence that whatever journey you will take, you are made for those journeys, you are well prepared for the new adventures ahead of you. The universe will conspire to bring you to places youâre meant to go. If youâre meant to bloom like the wonderful European flowers, you will at the right time. Never allow fear to creep inside your heart and start to take charge of your life. Always aim to learn more, to dream more, to do things outside of your comfort zone. Itâs only then we can fully grasp the idea that we are limitless, that dreams and goals are boundless. And that our only limit is the limit we set for ourselves.
I will always be here for you, if you need someone to talk, to ask for advices, pwede ra laki akong ihatag nimo pag storya lang hahaha
It has been an incredible journey working with you, Jai. I will surely miss having you around in the office and I know all of us will. I know youâll miss us, too. But weâre just a few meters away. Maglunch out ra nya ta or dinner out. Manglaag pata kay wala pa gyud nadayon atong Daanbantayan nga laag. Naa patay yoga meet-up with Klause and other, ayaw kalimot. Magkita ra gihapon tas Hive. Ikaw ra gihapon ang Code Wizard.
Thank you, Jai for everything! May the good Lord bless you and your selfless heart in fulfilling your dreams and responsibilities. I am so proud of you for taking this huge leap. đ„°
Always,
Ms. Pat
P.S. I'm also writing this here 'coz I want to keep this forever! đ
