REFLECTION.

It's been over a week since my late mother left us. I am back to work and had some time to reflect on what happen last week. Got this message on my talk box from someone very dear to my heart.She had disappointed me a couple of days earlier during my son's wedding and now this.

“Sorry I can't come because I have no transport”.

Well given the benefit of a doubt it might have been a legitimate excuse, but I think it is just lame.

If it was just anyone I would not have mind, but she was family and I had always treated her as one

in fact I would say even better than my own fresh and blood.

In contrast,one of my friend whom I had met only a couple of time (and I have not even add him on fb at that time) showed up at my mother's recent wake service. I was rather surprise he show up . So my friendship must have meant something to him. He lived at Jalan Ampang , Kuala Lumpur.

And yet he was able to take a train to klang and from there took a cab to attend the funeral service.I am touched and humbled by his action.There was another surprise visitor, my hiking friend whom I met less than 5 times came all the way from kajang . Friends I never expect to come, came and those I count on did not show. What is the lesson learnt from this?  I meant nothing to her. It's a bitter pill to swallow,but time to face reality.
