~ Saturday 17th June, 2023~
I just got back from school.
Dad was fixing my window, because I got a new bed; Mom was helping by cleaning.
I was playing with Charlotte, my sister, when suddenly, Mom told me to tidy up my room.
I got up and started with my desk.
Suddenly, a security guard delivered a package, which was for Mom.
It was just a pair of pyjamas.
But I was disappointed. I had been waiting for two months for an envelope, from my old friend, Sara.
She’s a nice woman who we use to meet at the church back in Sheffield, England. I miss her dearly.
We have lots of other friends back in England, but she’s our “huggy friend”.
I was halfway cleaning, until the same security guard knocked on our door.
In fact, however, he had another big package from Adidas for Me, Mom and Dad.
He also had an envelope.
As I read it, it was for:
Miss. A. Simanjuntak (that’s me 😀)
Which meant that it was from Sara!
And what was best, was that there was a valuable stamp of King Charles, King of the United Kingdom.
Sara had explained to us in an email, that she would be sending the stamp, for it would be very valuable and expensive when I’m older.
And what was amazingly surprising, was that…IT WAS DELIVERED ON KING CHARLES’ BIRTHDAY 😀😀😀!
You all might not know about it (or even about himself!), but here’s some information (about the parade):
King Charles had a trooping parade for is Birthday.
The traditional military spectacle today is a parade that isn’t like any other parade that had happened.
King Charles’ real birthday is on November the 14th and is usually celebrated privately with the royal family.
It is called “Trooping the Colour” which Queen Elizabeth used to celebrate. Now as her majesty has passed on, it is now led onto her majesty, King Charles.
1,500 soldiers, 300 horses and hundreds of musicians marched from Buckingham palace to the Parade.
It was seen by the whole Royal Family (well, except Prince Harry and Meghan. By the way, did you know that Prince Harry’s real name is Henry???).
There hasn’t been a parade like this for 40 years!
The last time a reigning monarch rode in the procession was Queen Elizabeth II in 1986.
King Charles also joined by riding a horseback closely followed by Prince William and the rest.
A carriage closely followed nearby, carrying Queen Camila, Princess Catherine “Kate” Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte (she’s the one we were inspired to name my sister: Charlotte), and Prince Louis 😀.
Then, King Charles went up to the balcony to enjoy the aircraft with the rest of the royal family (Queen Camila Bowler, Princess Catherine “Kate” Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis).
Overall, it might be coincidence?
I loved it so much, especially that it was from Sara.
Here’s some things about her:
She’s a nice woman who we use to meet at the church back in Sheffield, England. I miss her dearly.
She wears thin glasses and has silky brown hair.
We always email her, and she emails us too. We also call her too by skype. All the ways to keep in touch.
We flew back to Indonesia (where I am now) three years ago, March 2020. Before that, she was still as friendly and nice as she is now.
I haven’t seen her, but whenever we call, I can always hear her and know she’s alright.
We have lots of other friends back in England, but she’s our “huggy friend”.
She ALWAYS sends us packages or envelopes, on whatever event, holiday, or even BIRTHDAY😀!
She also once sent a postcard, with a jigsaw puzzle with it!
Ever since we’ve moved back to Indonesia (after FOUR years in England 🙁🙁🙁), trust me, I’ve got LOTS of postcards and birthday cards from her.
Sara also gives me and my sister the BEST gifts any grandchild could have, such as storybooks and stationary sets!
Love her ❤️.
I kept her envelope within all her cards.
I put them ALL inside a yellow, gold box, just to not lose them 👍👍👍
Miss you Sara ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
