i've fallen sick! gosh, din expect myself to fall so easily...
I have a friend, Dawn, who's also my hockey team-mate and coach. Her father jus passed away this early this week. When i went to visit her at the wake, she looked so sunken. I learnt from the 'adult' conversation that her dad had been suffering for 2.5 years from lots of other illnesses before he died of heart attack. I asked her how she and her family were doing, and she told me they may seem ok in the day infront of friends and stuff, but when they get back to their home, it hurts alot because almost everything thing in there reminds them of their father and husband. Sighs...
Losing a loved one is so painful, but yet inevitable. However, i feel that before they leave, we should do wat we can to make their lives more meaningful...i dunno, i guess that's just the way i see it - Treasure the person before he's gone.
