Rollercoaster ride of a day!

Yesterday was a rollercoaster ride. First I received a text from Wildcat when I woke up about her papou passing away. May he rest in peace. I am so worried about her mother. She's now lost the last living relative of her immediate family. I hope, truly hope that she gets blessed with patience and belief. I hope things get easier on her. I love this lady like a mother and used to get tearful everytime I came back home for summer or winter breaks. All this reminds me of something my father often said: (They lead the way and we follow). May our ending on this earth be peaceful after having lived a long and fulfilling, happy, stable life.

The next step was when I told a father that his newborn child will not lead a normal life. Only the seniors are meant to disclose such information, but he asked as he was leaving and I didn't think twice. The look on his face at that moment just crushed me.

Later on that day, a young boy, no more than 18 I'd say passed by, carrying a tray of chocolates presenting them to everyone. He was gorgeous, perhaps a little pale and slim. I didn't think anything of it until I took a chocolate and asked him what the occasion was. His reply that he was getting married shocked me for 2 reasons. Firstly he seemed too young and innocent. Secondly, he was both disabled and mentally challenged. I felt so happy for him and was about to hug him, shake him up and down and congratulate him my style, but my senses got the better of me and I calmed down. It's great that ill people can lead normal lives.

Till we meet again,
Sedeso
