Goodbye Val....

It was a cold Monday afternoon when i got the news, "Val has taken her life this morning"....... I wasn't sure I could believe my ears...not till the moment I saw her photo at the wake, did I accepted that this, has happened.....

I haven't been in touch with Val for about 3 years, maybe 4 ... I don't even remember, and that's how long it has been. And just last week, I thought of Setoh, who left us 3 years ago. I was praying that Setoh is in peace now that he isn't fighting the war against cancerous cells.... and I have regretted everyday of my life since the day he left, that being his so-called friends, we never visited him knowing he wasn't well. Why does everyone use their busy working life as an excuse, and say "next time" every time??

It was heartbreaking to know, that whilst we're busy thinking of excuses to push the visit to "next time", time was running out for Setoh... He knew it, but he didn't say anything. And before he left, he wrote little notes for all of us.... us whom he loved as friends....and us who didn't visit until it was too late.

I'm sorry, Val. I don't know what difference I could have made.... I pray that you're resting in peace now. And if this ends your sufferings, I'm happy for you. May you be in peace and happiness in another realm.

Goodbye forever.
