Happy Valentine

So it's the day to celebrate and tell each other how much you loves and treasure the life you have together.
Today, I feel so much as a dear friend of mine lost her hubby just recently.
I went back to SG for CNY, I attended the wake. I saw my sweet friend's eyes all swollen and red. She must be so so sad.... Words can't be expressed. The moment she said," Thanks for coming... When was you back to SG?" We teared in silence...
I am speechless... How can she be ok? How can she be strong? How can she take care?
She was the gal, with really the most gentle and sweetest smile. I have known her since we were perhaps 10??? We weren's that close in primary school. But when we went to the same secondary school, we travelled to and fro to school together then. We made alot of friends and have fun together. We were like sisters!
We did not contact awhile after that as we persue different paths...
But at 18 -20, we came together again.. The clubbing days.... We were back to phone hogging again... Talking and chatting about endless stuff... I introduced her BF," T" to her one period... It did not turned out well. Like wise for me... But we laughed and cried together time to time.
Then one day in the year when we were 27 or 28, she asked me to be her bridemaid. She was getting married! I saw her in her gowns, all grown up and beautiful to be Mrs Tan. We tested her hubby before he was allowed to kiss the bride. The whole day was tiring but I saw the harmony and love for the couple.
Awhile ago, I was writing about her in my diary. That she is such a dear and special friend of mine. She is a v nice lady and I hope her baby and hubby and her family will all be well.
When I learnt of the bad news, I was in disbelief! He died??? What happened? What is going to happen to her and her baby? They are expecting the arrival of their baby boy Ethan in March! I can't imagine how crush they are in the seperate worlds.... He is unable to see the arrival of his boy. They have yet to give his chinese name yet. They have so much to do together....
My dearest friend, I am so no good at words and at this time, hugs are not enough... I really do not know how this will change your life. But being you, I believe that you will be fine somehow, someday... I hope the path to the day come easy to you step by step...I hope to see you smile again....
I love you my friend!
Rachelle
