Unexpected report from a friend

Hi there I’m Mikihito.

I would like to share a story occurred to me yesterday. I saw a friend to have drinks yesterday. He was a teammate of the highschool basketball team. We also have been playing basketball together for a year. We and a few guys created a basketball team a year ago to participate into competitions. This is the first time he asked me to go drinking by ourselves. Despite good friends, we’ve never had even a lunch or dinner together by ourselves. So I anticipated something happened to him. As soon as we drank a toast, he said to me that he divorced. More surprisingly, he did approximately a year ago. Although we had started seeing for playing basketball, I had no idea because he held it back until his mind fully recovered. I am glad that he looks good now. Though I cannot imagine that how much he was depressed during the course of the events, I really want to celebrate that he went through tough time and embarked on a brandnew life. Recalling it, I had never see him since graduated from highschool. Since the wedding party, we started hanging out many times. If there weren’t his wedding, we wouldn’t have drinks there today. Therefore, I said to him that I am grateful for your wedding. Although it may sounds weird, I always want to take a positive side. Moreover, I was happy that he shared very private matter with me in person. I am convinced that our friendship will be continuing for a long term. Our basketball tournament coming in the next months, we are going to achieve better result than the last one.

Thank you for reading all, see you soon.
