Goodbye, my friend. RIP.

I lost a friend few weeks ago. She died in a car accident. We only last met up in a small gathering on Malaysia Day. She left behind her husband and 3 young boys, smaller than my kids. It was a shock to learn that news on that fateful Sunday morning and in just those few hours, we sent her off in her funeral and learned that we would never ever see her again. It was so unreal.

I went with JM and Esther to visit her husband and the young ones a few weeks after. Being in her house was just not the same anymore. I felt very uncomfortable and holding back tears. It just wouldn't do for me.

Watching the boys running around, I felt so heart pain. How can little kids grow up happily without their mom? And I have to admit, it was also headache hearing the screams and yells. Geez...  I am so over that stage, it's really enough for me.

I heard the husband is going through a rough time dealing with the passing of his wife. They had been a loving couple, very very much in love. But somehow, I believe he couldn't find a closure and move on, he might not be able to forgive himself for her demise. I feel so sorry for him yet I have no solutions to offer. He needs to pick himself back up, for the sake of his sons, but yeah, it's not easy.

I am sorry to hear about this. May your friend rest in peace. It must have been a shock to you. So sad for the sons to lose their mother at such a young age.

I heard from YS about her demise, we were very shock and sad at the same time. Hope her kids will be in good hands after this.

My Friday favorite time of the week

 Long ago, I used to look forward to every Friday 5.30pm. I would rush to prepare dinner and settle all that was needed to be done before 4....
