You (19 Dec 2007)

I waited patiently for her to arrive. Finally she came. I was really, really happy to see her again. It had been ages since we last met.

Well-liked by many, she was still the same old jovial her. Nothing was amiss. Just that it seemed as if she had lost some much needed pounds off her petite frame.

Curious to find out how she was doing, i engaged a conversation with her. Controlling the conversation with my many questions, she answered them readily. All i expected to hear was a "They are all doing fine/great." But that sentence never came.

The truth was deafening. I couldn't come to terms with what she had just said. A lump had unknowingly formed at the back of my throat. I gulped it down and stared blankly at her. For that split second, she had a distant sad look in her eyes.

How much i wanted to hug her there and then. But bred an Asian, i had my reservations. All i could offer was a pat on her shoulder. This heartwrenching news was too much to bear.

Being a stranger to the family, i found it hard to accept the truth. What's more the immediate family members. It definitely will be a life-changing event for them all.

The conversation i had with her replayed again and again after that night. I don't know how i will be able to cope if that ever happened to me. Well, though i know it will someday. It's just a matter of time.

The fragility of life... An obstacle which will take years to overcome.

Life's really unfair at times. Why must You give them everything and take away what's most precious to them?

I said a little prayer for you and your family. I sincerely hope all of you will be able to pull through and walk out from this darkness. God bless.
