R.I.P.

I do have a very close friend who is living in Malaysia. No doubt that we last met in 2004, we keep in touch by telephone for most of the time. Anyway, to cut the story short, I was really shocked and was disturbed when I heard that his mom has fallen ill. He has to take care of his mum 24/7. Sometimes I do feel that life is quite hard for him. I wished he would have a better life.

No matter what he did, his mum succumbed to her illness and passed away peacefully three weeks ago. I wished I could be on his side and help him to go through a difficult path like this. Unfortunately I could not do so due to committments.

Anyway, things just happened so quickly and I don't think he would have the ability to take so much things at the same time. I think by now, he is taking things one step at a time and hopefully the days will be much better for him in the future.

He needs help and get his life sorted. He was never given the opportunity to be independent in his life. This will be a good time do start being independent. Well, I do help him, giving him all the support that I could.

For the very first time he has to do all the cooking by himself. He has to do all the housework all by himself. He has to make his own decision all the time and it feels different compared to the times when he has his mum beside him. I guess he missess his mum very much.

I told him that although it is really hard for him to swallow the fact, it is a blessing indisguise that he would now be able to do all the housework and start earning money for himself. He will meet good friends and bad friends. Just make sure that he will just ignore bad friends and keep the good ones. This will enable him to become stronger as the day passes by.

I spoke to his mum on many occasions including her last moments before she gave up. It is strange as out of a sudden, all her organs just gave up on her. It is like, there is God and asking her to be with Him. She was a fighter but I guess God is great. He has the ultimate power. That is why it is true, when he says "I am the Alpha and the Omega", it is true.

His mum was a sweet lady. She supported the family single handedly and I do salute her. Well, it is really sad to see her go but if that is what it is going to happen, rest in peace aunty. God bless...
