I'm sure we'll see each other again

Uli, the girl from Kyrgyztan, was one them. An absolutely fantastic girl. Strong, determined, direct and still a very sweet, dear, stylish and loving girl. I learnt a lot from her (including Russian curse words), but the main thing will is how she could be such a no-B.S. kind of girl, and still one of the sweetest you'll ever meet. Some of my favourite quotes from her come exactly from that personality trait:
Patrick stop talking! You talk too much!
The first time I met you I thought you were gay. Because you knew how to match your clothes!
And my favourite internal joke:
Booty bounce, booty bounce
The coolest Kyrgyz/Brazilian viking ever
The last couple of times we met in Oslo gave me the final displays of her sweetness while she was still amongst us. Just as I was about to leave Norway, while I was rushing around to pack, she came around to my flat to give me the birthday present she had made me. A beautiful knitted scarf, very carefully wrapped with a note which said "What doesn't kill you, makes you warmer." In her sense of humour that we understood each other so much. Even when I go back to warm Brazil, it's definitely something I will hold dearly.
During my most recent trip to Oslo she invited me for supper with her boyfriend and her at their flat. She had started cooking and had made an absolutely wonderful delicious meal. Lot only did it taste fantastic, but the table was set in the cutest Uli way, attentive to all the little details. It was a fantastic evening. I remember leaving the house and walking in the snow feeling great. Knowing that these moments were exactly what I missed the most about Oslo.
That same night, trying to arrange to spend NYE together, I remember just before leaving saying that even if she and her boyfriend couldn't make it, "I am sure we will see each other again".
I'm still sure we will, but I'll miss you dearly until that day comes.
