I received a text message early in the morning last Saturday. It was my friend informing me that our friend Gilda's father passed away. Though we knew his father had an illness, it was still a shocking news for us because we didn't know that his father was already that weak. Gilda worked in another city so we do not see each other that often. I just felt pity for her because at a young age she also had lost her mom 6 years ago... And now her father... I do not know how sad that is but I know it is very depressing. Even at my age, married, had 2 sons, I still rely on my parents especially my mom. I still come to her everytime I have some problems. Though I do not literally share to her what that problem is, but it's just that being with her simply makes all things lighter.
I just realized we really just have to cherish each moment and let our loved ones know how much we love them.

When you love someone, tell them every day. I realize in our busy lives we often forget that old saying, "tomorrow is not promised", until it impacts our lives. Remember to say I love you and mean it. You just never know.

I lost my father a few years ago and I still miss him so much.I went through a lot of sad times and felt so down, still a few years on I do still feel like that, but not as much as I use to.
I was there for a friend also when her dad passed away and I think it makes things better having a friend there who knows how you feel.

It's really hard to let go specially to someone whom we rely on since the day we were born. I do agree that we just have to cherish every moment because we don't really know when would be our final judgement. I know it's kinda hard for your friend but just be there for her because she do need friends, aside from here family, to stay beside her in times of grieving. Condolence for her
