live life

the family was awoken this morning with a call from the husband of my mum's good friend (maybe an understatement); he was sobbing hard on the phone, she got into an accident and is in a deep coma. undeniably, everyone dove into an immediate state of shock and believe i still am while penning this down. what is quite painful is watching my mum reminisce about her friend in the car while all of us kept quiet.

even as i pen this down now, i struggle to remember the times spent with her. my mind is blank, i am not able to recollect any memories with her. this is too real a situation - if a similar situation happened to myself, will it be more painful knowing i cant place a fond memory to a friend..

life is full of uncertainty, and indeed so.
