Meow Chen, a childhood friend of my sister, who is one year younger than me. She used to live opposite of my house. When I was a kid, I often played with her brother, although we were not very close to each other, sometimes, we would still play together with my sister.
She was born in 1987, with heart disease. She was very weak and unhealthy when she was in primary school. I remember the bad weather caused by open burning from Indonesia put her in a really bad situtation where she had to put on a facial mask to school . We, the innocent children would tease her and say unpleasant things in front or the back of her. But, did we actually realize we are hurting her feeling?
Her lips would turn purple, she would look pale and sitting down breathing heavily trying to stable her breathe. For decades, we have not seen each other until a best friend of mine met her in National Service.
Last year, they came together to my house to pay me a visit during Chinese New Year. But few months later, I heard they broke up. My friend is the only bridge that could connect her with me, since they have broken up, she, again went missing like a ship sank into an ocean.
A bad news came to me two days ago from my sister, who happened to be her childhood playmate. She was chased out from the house by her mother due to an objection in love. Rumours spread saying that she called her mother before Chinese New Year asking for permission to have reunion dinner together. " Fine, you can have it but this would be the last reunion dinner for you." Said the mom.
Anger brings you to nowhere. According to rumours, she had been thinking alot about what her mother said, having heart disease since she was born, this could possibly be the cause of causing her brain stopped functioning and led to her death.
Sometimes, do we ask ourselves why are we in this world? Why God has created us but on the other hand, He wants to destroy his creatures? There is birth, there is death. The only way we could avoid death, is to avoid birth. How could we possibly do this? In many religions, it says to stop the life cycle, God is the only way.
My deepest condolence to uncle Tee and family. May she rest in peace. My friend, you will be missed.
