my friend's mum

Monday.. it starts in a good day... but end up a experience I will remember for my rest of my life.

That night my friend's mother passed away. That night my friend lost someone he loved ... He was working oversea when the tragic started.. He was rushed back by "the company".. I heard the news and decided to go back to his home with him.. His brother is oversea, so for the time being, he is alone.. handling the stuffs.. Lucky his sister in law took care of most of the stuffs.. His girlfriend is quite supportive helping him to settle some admin stuffs. But I think he needs some more accompany..as possible wait till his brother come back from oversea.. so I stay back to accompany him or help him..

Life is very frail... I remember Jan I was still playing mahjong with him and his mother...then now his mother had passed away. Everything seem so fast.. Initially, he is quite sad.. I afraid he cant control his emotion, so I recommend to the other that he shouldn't go drive the car himself, thinking he will do something stupid.. Lucky he listens to us or else I really don't know what to do with him once he goes drive the car.

Monday night seem very long... although I say I accompany him.. but I was beaten by the Zzzz monster... fell asleep around 12am.. haiz.. He hardly say any words... That night I slept only 5 hours...

Tuesday, I accompany him while another Superior came and offer to help out my friend. I tried to help out in anything too.. but there is very little stuffs I can do. Well, I did help out using leg works..running errand like applying the permit to hold the wake at the void deck near my friend's house. I stayed with my friend till his brother came... then I go home.. It is a tiring for me.. but I hope I got some use in helping him..

Yesterday, I came down to visit him again..just to check out how is him holding up... After seeing him, I guess he is holding good... His mother will be moving to the Guang Ming Shan on Friday morning... His girlfriend hoped he will hold himself up during friday... because it will be very sad day for him on friday.

My friend asked me try not to come at today... as he may not have time to entertain me on today.. so I guess he is going to busy as the monks are doing the ritual for his mum... Well, I told him, if he need any helps, just let me know..

THis feeling is not so good for me, but I did get to learn some custom of dealing withg the dead..It is a experience I will not forget.
