家

I spoke to mum recently, she lost a friend whom she knew for almost 40 years, whom I knew since I was a kid. The sudden death shocked everyone. I didn't say anything to mum 'cause I could hear it in her voice that she was really sad. It just didn't make me feel good at all. I know exactly how it feels, I lost a good friend not too long ago, too. And I don't remember how much I cried, how many sleepless nights I went through. It just makes me want to go home and see my family right now. It's been a while. Dad just turned 71 four months ago, and I wasn't home. I'm just terribly sad that I haven't seen him for 6 months now. I just realised how much I miss them. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially our family. And we tend to forget that they are the most important people around. That's because they are always there to share, no matter you're happy or sad. I have been too selfish, not calling home enough for the last few years. But I'm glad I realised it now, before it gets too late. I'll be home soon :-)
