| this week has been a MESS of emotions. i've laughed, cried, hated, loved, took advantage of, and appreciated within these past couple of days.
first off, the child of a close family friend has died of a car accident in malaysia. even though i don't know the boy, his father was like my second father. i've known him since before i was born. now, he has to go back to malaysia and he cannot come back to america due to his own problems. this week marked the end of a relationship and even though he gave my parents his phone number and address in malaysia, i know it is most likely that i won't see him for either a very long time or forever. i'm so sorry for his loss and it's like such a huge change from the jolly man he was to a broken down, lost man he is now.
it's amazing how much can change within a second and how much of an impact it can make to the lives of many people. this made me get over the feud with my dad because how could i possibly have a petty fight with him when another man has lost his child. this has taught be to cherish the time i have and be thankful for my family, friends, and for all of those who care about me. thanks for just being here and caring about me.
