The Valley of the Shadow of Death

My friend's mother died yesterday. Cancer.

I got the message on my mobile this morning from Liang. He is the same guy who told me, a few weeks ago, that the father of another mutual friend of ours had died.

I feel really bad for these, my friends. I really really do. Liang would have attended their parents' funerals, but I can't--for one reason or another. This time, it's because I'm overseas.

I'm so sorry.

HG, I just want to be there for you. I know perhaps nothing I say now really matters, it won't take away the grief, but at least you know that your mum is in a better place.

Take heart.
