death overseas

well i wrote about how i came out to my lady friend sometime back. 

have know her since 1986 when i was doing my ns and through the years, we have kept in contact. and i think she's going through quite a bit of life's ups and downs through the years. she's a single mother, having divorced from her husband sometime back and had to bring up her daughter single handedly. 

well, she left the force last year, and started a new career outside shortly after that. and this year, she got to know a very nice ang mo overseas through facebook and they got married 2 months back. and over the last few days, she and her family decided to head to taiwan for a holiday and her mum passed away yesterday morning following a heart attack 2 days ago. as i write, she and her family members are making plans to bring back the body home for the funeral rites.

sighs… what a thing to happen during an overseas trip. but from another perspective, it was a beautiful way to go - on holiday and with all family members around.

i wish her strength during this difficult moment of her life.
