Al-Fatihah

Just arrived home from Gua Musang. A friend's Mom passed away late last night.

It's heartbreaking to see her like this. We haven't spoken to each other in months. When I hugged her before we left, she said to me "Aku taktau kenapa kita jadi camni". Trust me, even I don't remember what started it all. All I know is that I was so annoyed with her that I hid her from my Facebook home and I hid my posts from her too. Stupid I know.

During the drive home (I didn't drive, I spent most of the time sleeping teeheehee), I kept thinking what if it was her? What if it was my own Mother? Man, I'd be filled with so many regrets that I might drive myself to suicide. I think.

When I told my Mom about that, she said, "Tau pun takut. Nanti bila dah jadi baru nak rasa menyesal. Nasib baik Mama terus pergi jumpa doktor kalau sakit".

Masalahnya kadang-kadang tu sakit kepala jenis yang makan panadol dah elok pun nak pergi jumpa doktor jugak. Borderline hypochondriac orang tua ni.

And what do you always say when you're comforting someone in grief? For all that I pride myself on always saying the right time at the right time (well, most of the time. Okay lah about 70% of the time. FINE. About 5% of the time?), I always find myself at a loss of words when it comes to this kind of situation.

Al-Fatihah buat arwah.
