quite naturally, the conversational topics shared over the past three days gravitated towards friendship. even as the wake is being held, the reality of this tragedy hasnt quite sunk in. my mother is shaken, shaken by the fact that her close friend who calls and meets her everyday for tea is no longer ringing her up for coffee, that just for a mere two minutes after they hung up on the phone this awful accident happened. she was my mother's confidant, friend and companion - a close family friend who was adored by all. it poured the entire day today.. must be the heavens mourning over the departure of a selfless friend/mother/wife/sister.
its a harsh world we are in. the next time someone throws you a question: will you cry for me if i passed away? reflect on what it truly means to you, life is full of uncertainty and indeed so.
