Destiny is Harsh
Thursday, 3. January 2008, 06:11:39
This morning, I received a phone call from one of my close friends, Nikko, that immediately changed this bright sunny day into a dark terrible pit of endless sorrow. On the other side of the phone, he was choking. I knew right away that something is wrong and I listened to him tell me the rest of the story. He told me that Diane's, my best friend, her dad had passed just passed away, at the strike of 12:00 on January 03, 2008.
I didn't know what to say. I can't believe it. I just saw him months ago, all healthy and happy. Nikko told me that Diane had written everything about her dad on her blog, so I jumped right up from bed and got to her blog instantly. Her blog, always so cheerful and nice, is suddenly filled with sorrow and grief. Nothing there changed, but I can feel the atmosphere...I then started reading her post.
I know that she must have been writing with tears streaming down her cheeks, with eyes so red from the sleepless night and tears, and with a heart so painful and regretful that even I hurt knowing how she feels, and yet, she wrote the post, full of determination and will, of strength and love. She showed no sign of weakness, no sign of retreat. She regretted that she didn't notice how her father was feeling before the sudden stroke attacked him on his sleep. But my dear friend, it is never your fault. It will only make you even more painful if you think that way, and I'm sure you're dad wouldn't want you or your family to feel that way...I feel so sorry for her, as her close friend, that I am not able to give her my support and a shoulder to cry on, on the instant death landed on her father, because I lived so far away. But I know she will be strong. She had determined to become the pillar of support for her mom and her brother, which I'm sure she would certainly be.
Even though Diane's father is no longer physically present, I am sure that his memories, would always be with his family, providing them support and strength to live the lives that he wanted them to have. He will always be watching out for his family, and silently praying for their safety and wellness. I give Diane my deepest condolence for her loss of her most beloved one. I will pray for her dad to rest in peace and for God to help her family to get through the harshest period time destiny has landed upon them.
Upon knowing about this bad news, I felt so bad. Even my mom was shocked by the news. I have known Diane and her family ever since we're in primary school. On what destiny has vested upon them, I can't but feel sad and sorry about it. Destiny can be really harsh sometimes, taking away someone or something you have learned to love and rely on. An instant death like Diane's father is the most sorrowful. Destiny didn't even give his family the chance to say their last goodbyes.
Diane wanted everyone to cherish their loved ones and do not wait until it's already too late, because then, even remorse would not help relieve your pain if something happens to them. Tell them you love them, let them know how you feel, before its too late.

Are really bad and sad news. I'm sorry.
Like you, I don't know what to say now. But I see how deep it shocked you! I'm reading the graphic at the end of your post. It's true. Even when you are far from your friend, you can be close to her in other valuables ways. And I'm sure she will be thankful for that.
To lost someone it's so hard, and you have to care your friend in the next days. That's even more important: the support after her loss. I have a friend and she lost her husband. She says that the support of her friends after that day (not just the company in the day it happened) is so valuable to her. She could rely in her friends for a long time, until today.
I prefer not to consider Destiny as a cause. I consider that it could make us forget our hope. Bad things still happens in the world, but there are other reasons to explain the causes. I respect your words, however. And I'm sorry.

My heart is with you in this moment. You said your friend lives far from you, so to go there will be appreciated by your friend.
Hugs!
