support

my office knew that i am having some issues managing my dad's illness all along. and when they heard about my mum also being hospitalised, i think they got really concerned. so, yesterday, i got a surprise sms from my dy boss telling me to approach them if i need help. same sentiment was echoed by one or two other colleagues. and today, my boss's secretary called and told me that my boss has asked her to sent a hamper to my mum and dad.

rather surprised by this sudden responses. but nonetheless, appreciate their concerns. it is perhaps simple acts like keeps a person going. not the hamper per se. but the moral support. the thought that if i need help, i have someone whom i can turn to is a very powerful motivator in itself.

and this support, i must add, comes not only from my office, but from my friends. and i sincerely thank them for it. to my friends, (you know who you are), thanks.

It is probably quite difficult for most to say that two simple words "Thank you". but the empathy u are getting could be one of the loudest appreciation u are getting from yr surroundings.
reflects well on u....

Now, say thank you. ;)
