Of losses and gains.

Two of my close friends lost one of their loved ones this past week: One, a cousin; And the other, a grandmother.
Irah… ate ann's most loyal cousin and protector. I only know him from all the stories she's told me before. He loved ate ann dearly and he was always there to keep her safe in the dangerous environment they were unfortunately born in. Now all i can think about is how ate ann would survive it after this. I know she's a strong woman, but at this point in her life where she has to fulfill her duties, it would've been a comfort to still have him around. :c
Lola… hana's sweet grandmother. I met her once at hana's birthday celebration. She could only speak korean but she had this welcoming smile on her face as we greeted her [or atleast, TRIED to greet her]: "aneong hasseyo!" Hana loved her so much, and so did she. She started it all… she was the best cook, the first of the kim-ladies, and the one who took care of them all. And then, she was taken away.
I extend my condolences to the both of you… You can do this. You're both strong women, and this experience can only make you stronger. I love you both.

I was talking to sheena earlier, caught up with my byotch. I was telling her about how i've begun to feel a little uneasy about all the good things that has come my way the past few weeks. I've been blessed with all the possible graduation gifts i could ask for, but then in between all of that, my friends were experiencing grave losses.
Somehow, i feel like i'm not supposed to be this happy. I mean, i'm thankful for all of this… but i can't help but ask myself:
"I'm getting what i want, but at what cost?"
Thank you, Pach… you’ll always be here in my heart. You know naman how to reach me when you need me there beside you eh. Thank you…
