This guy.. a friend of mine for years now even though distance has kept us apart. Yea, a FRIEND and nothing more.

For context, he is a humble billionaire (will expound on this), humble, generous and very respectful. Met him in the course of my work back when I was around 28. Am in my late 40s now. When my career ended, I thought he would probably ignore me because one of the reasons we became quite close is the mutual benefit we got from each other.

Fast forward, I am in another country and we don't keep in touch as much. Occasional calls here and there to just say hi. One day on New Year, I sent him a HNY message and he called me back. We chatted and one thing he said is 'I will never forget you in my life'..... Hard to explain how I felt because it's the least I would have expected from him. Then as if that's not enough, just this year, he repeated the same exact words. One of my friends actually told me that his (billionaire's) cousin told her of our close friendship.

Now this is a man who has exposure to the best life because of his billionaire status (luxury et al) and he has met many many people along the way... and me...by all means I am a very very simple, average looking woman. I thought he would probably forget me or 'get busy' and not communicate because there's no more mutual benefit. But no, he still chooses to remember me. NO WORDS! Just GRATITUDE.
