While celebrating my birthday at home last night, I received 4 messages from a friend. The first message started with a simple birthday greeting. I smiled since I haven't heard from Cel in such a long time; but what followed in the text messages made the spaghetti and the cake in my mouth suddenly bitter: her Mom just passed away.
She said that the news hasn't sinked in yet, and she's trying to be strong for everyone in the family. Cel was always the event organizer during our college years; it's no wonder she's handling the hospital bills, internment, informing the family and everything that has to be arranged.
I think she's trying to busy herself so as not to feel the impact of the damage.I replied, since it was all I can do, being miles away from her. She was sending the message through YM and I wasn't sure if she received my messages.
It was a sad news, that I felt guilty celebrating.
