We will never know when a friend needs us.

I left at home at around half past 12 to get to the office early. I got so frustrated when this driver took forever to leave. (I commute, the driver had to wait for passengers.) So then I had to get off and took a cab instead. I wasn't late but my mood started to change. On a rainy monday with a lousy driver, it's just bad. Here my shift starts. There's an urgent meeting. A very bad news came to us. Our team leader lost her 7 months baby inside her womb. I was shocked. I cried because she spoke nothing but her baby and how excited she is. She had brought baby stuff already. In short, she's ready. She was a very nice friend too as she was there for me when I needed her. And when I say she's there, she's really there, to think that we are not that close, but she was the one who was there more than my closer friends. Now, she had to go through abortion as she could be in danger too since the baby died inside her. (God, I was just discussing abortion last time.) The thought of seeing her baby taken away from her is just unimaginable and for her too see it...It's unbearable. And after that, she had to heal, physically, mentally and emotionally. The saddest part is her fiance is at work abroad, sailing (he's a seaman) and probably couldn't go home immediately. (I hope he could.) In friendship, catching up is important. It doesn't matter if you see each other everyday or missed the weekend without saying hello. Because in just a snap, things can either get good or bad. So let's take the time to check on them by simply saying hi or how are you doing? We may never know when do they need us. I'm asking you guys to pray for her. I feel like that's the best thing I could do for her.
