I will take you to the Beach and Buy you Fish

"When we grow up and make money, I will take you to the beach and buy you FISH" said Kate(not real names). My high school sweetheart. We wrote &  exchanged lots of mail and I am certain I still have them stored somewhere in my high school archives.

There was a teacher who used to do part-time teaching at both our schools(Kate's & I). So, every time mail was delivered from Bweranyangi to the information prefect (Newton Baguma), I was sure that her letter was amongst the mail. Newton beat me to that post by 4votes by the way. 

During the last the month of my HSC level, the last I could have about my friend was a letter that clearly narrated how I had been such a nice friend and destined for great things in this world. "You are such an adorable friend, God will bless you in all your deeds and you are destined for great things in this world. I will miss you." read part of the letter. I kept it to-date and promised myself to look for my friend.

For all the things we had ever talked about I wonder why the FISH thing kept clicking in my mind. The imagination of that fascinated me. Did she promise me that because she imagined it could be the best thing for us that could not be availed then until we grew and made money? or It would be one way to ask me keep the friendship until we met again and got the social fun to ourselves eating FISH at the beach inclusive?

Six(6) years down the road, I get a request on Facebook, View profile I clicked. Familiar face, I accepted request. Thank you Facebook. Thank you Facebook and Thank you Social Network.

Even before the Internet, social networking existed. Its true that social networking is when a person uses already existing contacts to meet old friends,  new people as potential social or business links. Such links, in turn, will help expand future connections. Small and local businesses can even do this simply by attending community events or participating in trade shows. Am glad that the Ugandan corporate generation is taking this trend especially in attending community events.

I realize that it is not always about how you leave each other but what you leave in each while you leave. The promised FISH has kept me thinking about a person for all these years and led to finding the ever good friend of mine.


Til next time..!!
