Sad...

The husband of someone I knew, passed away yesterday morning.

Reaction was shock. Usually that's the reaction when you hear about someone, or someone's someone passed away. But this is a speechless-for-5-minutes kind of shock.

She was married to this man only 2 months ago. And this was one man who sincerely doted and appreciated her but fate is cruel.

It's not her first marriage, but I guess it's her happiest. She didn't have a smooth love life, but she's a very strong woman. When we spoke this morning, she sounded like her usual self, but I guess, deep down inside, she's breaking into pieces. I mean, they are newly weds! And now, she's now a widow of her new husband. How cruel is that!

Everyone felt so sad for her, so sad.

The irony thing was, just now, I was tidying my table, I saw the tag from their wedding favours lying beneath my pile of barang. 10th December 2005. Husband & wife for only 2 months and 2 days. I guess their honeymoon to Israel was for a reason. They are devout Christians.

She spoke of her wedding as though it's her first. she told me how happy her mum was on that day. She got drunk and was really wild, even sabo-ed the wedding couple.

I will be going to the wake in the afternoon. Bob wanted to go with me, but I told him no. It's his birthday today.

Deepest condolences to her. Hope she will stay strong.
