"You are not alone"

This is my friend Lindy (giving the peace sign)- she's a sophomore. I just happened to ask her out to dinner the first week of class, mainly because she was closest to where I was standing, sitting in the front row. We've had lunch together almost every week since then. She is so sweet, but has this very serious nature about her. For instance, yesterday she gently but firmly told me that I should not be drinking cold water, because it will leave me feeling cold and make me more susceptible to illness (this is common knowledge among the Chinese). Then today at lunch she took me by the hand and said something like this:

"I know that when I am here at school, I miss my parents and my family very much, and sometimes I cry because I miss them and I feel alone. I know that you are very far from your family, and that you must miss them very much, but I want you to know that you are not alone. We are good friends and if you every feel lonely you should just call me and I will come to your apartment as quick as I can!"

How absolutely precious is that?? She's also already begun making plans for me to visit her family in their home sometime soon, and is taking mental notes on what foods I like. On the list so far: cake and ice cream. Please be keeping her and our friendship in your thoughts!
