Deepest Condolence

Yeah, it's been a longgggggggggggggg time since i've posted something in here. Well, basically it is not that i have nothing to post. It is just that something have been going lately resulting me to feel soooooo confused. Argh, cut the crap...

Two days ago, a very good friend of mine lost his dad. FOREVER!!! His dad passed away due to sudden heart attack. His dad did not have any history of heart attacks. I just couldn't believe that at the age of 19, my friend would lost his dad just like that. Well, it happened in India. It has been a tradition in their family to go over to India to show their commitment to God. Oh well, the temple is located in a very rural area in India and to reach the temple, they have to fast for a few days and climb a mountain!!! While climbing, my friend's dad suffered a heart attack.

Poor friend of mine and his family got to know the news only at 3am on Friday morning. Some how, my friend text messaged me at 3.45am to tell me this bad news. So happen i was awake at that moment coz was rushing to complete my torts written work. I was so shocked when i saw that message. The last time i saw his dad was like 2 weeks ago, when he was kind enough to fetch me home all the way from Taylors. Yeah, it did affect me.

I met my friend on Friday, we talked about it. I noticed that he was about to cry but he controlled his tears from rolling down. That very moment when i saw him wanting to cry but couldn't do so, i myself felt like crying. But of course i didn't... I am suppose to support him, i can't possibly show him that i wanted to cry. Didn't want him to have a break down too. Deep down in me, i knew that my friend is feeling very guilty. He told me, he wanted to tell his dad "Have a safe journey" on the day when his dad was suppose to leeave for India. But due to the rush, he forgot to say so. And because he failed to say so, his dad did not return to them. I tried telling him not to blame himself but i know that is something hard to do.

I wish i could do something to help him right now. I am feeling so HELPLESS!!! His dad was the one who had been supporting the family all this while but now, who's going to support them??? The saddest thing is, my friend said he might have to quit SAM. He's such an intelligent guy, with a bright future ahead of him... It is such a waste for him to quit his studies right now. I hope he doesn't quit. At times, i do feel that life is so UNFAIR!!!

This incident really taught me something. Appreciate people that we love and everything that we have while we can. Yeah, i know it is something that people always say, but how many people would actually do that??? It is when we start losing things and the person we loved the most, then we will actually start appreciating. Some how, this incident is going to change me. Honestly, i do feel that i do take things for granted at times. Guess it is time to change. I don't want to regret for the rest of my life. To everybody reading my blog, please remember to appreciate the people you love!!! Don't wait till you lose them and start regretting.

Quote to share : Hope is a driving factor in helping us stay on course in life, it may feel as though it comes and goes, but in reality there is always hope, there is always a chance for something else to happen, and you need to have faith that it will
