Distance

It's just another night

And I'm staring at the moon

I saw a shooting star

And thought of you

- All of the Stars-

Year 2018....

Hello..

Hi, is it Mr. Lawley? 

It's Bam, the exchange student from Thailand!

Hello, can you hear me?

Dad's Mercedes Benz GLC slowed to a stop near the front gate of Bozeman International Airport. Dad and I are waiting for an exchange student from Thailand. Actually, I am half Thai-American. I can speak Thai because of my mother. But it's not like there's anyone here who can speak Thai.

Why do I have to study? That's what I always thought about.

10 minutes have passed...

Dad, I think he might get lost. Should I go and find him?

Dad, I think he's lost. Should I go find him?

But when my sentence was finished in just one breath He appeared in front of the door and dragged his large bag away from the exit door to the left to avoid the people rushing in and out of the apartment at that time. The young man was a little slimmer than me. He had a sweeter face than normal boys.

His mouth was plump and pink. The hair is light brown. And it seemed to suit him very well. Today is a day with relatively good weather. The wind blows cool but not so cold that it irritates the skin. The child then dressed in a casual style. Along with yellow glasses that fit him as well. But after just one look, I knew it was definitely him. Bam.

Exchange students from Thailand....

Hello, Are you Bam? 

Yes!! ...

A smile appeared on that young man's sweet face. It made me smile wider than I've ever done before... He talked with my father for a while and then walked with his bag in the direction where I was standing...

Hi, I'm Bam. I'm a student from Thailand...

Hello, my name is Bam. I am a student from Thailand.

... I arr I I'm Mark, welcome to Montana...

Um, my name is Mark. Welcome to Montana.

It took us about 3 hours to travel to my house in a town called Gardiner. The atmosphere along the way was filled with the voices of the father and the child. He seemed like a cheerful person and spoke well.

I talk with Bam, spend time together. To the point of profound

I'm grateful for whatever brought him to me.

Until we meet

And today is December 15th. That smile is ready to continue to smile.
