A good friend: Dimi (by Lilyana)

Her name is Dimi, short for Dimitrina. She was my age, slim, with blond hair and blue eyes. She worked in a veterinary clinic. We didn't know each other until we met in a small village on the Black Sea 20 years ago. We were surprised to know that we lived in the same town, the same district, and at a short distance. We were neighbors but we met far away from home. 

I was glad to find a good companion for the summer holiday. She was agreeable and somewhat childish. With her I had that strange feeling that you have known her for years. We could spend our time talking about anything or in silence, any way we felt comfortable. She was personally charming, intelligent and very helpful. We kept our friendship after the holiday. We got on really well and spent a good time. Something more, Dimi became my best friend.

However when I took this photo eleven years ago, I didn't know that it would be our last summer together. Nobody could expect something so cruel. We lost her due to a malignant disease. Nothing could be done...

Today I dedicate my composition to my unique friend Dimi. She was a really good friend and I'm thankful to have met her.
