Bonus Round

Amy is a colleague from work. She is in her late 30s. Amy's former university mate is in a coma after losing consciousness in her sleep. Her friend had been busy with the preparations to go the UK- her husband had been offered a placement for PhD- and they had uprooted temporarily from Malaysian soil & brought their 2 children along. Once they reached the UK, she had cooked and entertained Malaysian students there. 2 days later, Amy's friend lost consciousness in her sleep and is now in induced coma. Reason unknown. I do hope that she will make it through, for her family's sake. For her husband & her two young children.

Earlier this month, a family of four was involved in a fatal accident while traveling to New Zealand. Their youngest daughter (11 years old) survived- as the only remaining member of the family. Her mother, father and 2 elder sisters perished in the accident. It was heart-rending to read that this young child had wanted to stay in NZ (with her family) & not return home to Malaysia.

How very precious, and yet how fleeting life is. Treasure every moment, every breath. Living life above 45. Blessed.
