What Her Friend Says (VI)

The reason I haven't been on facebook is cos I refused to look at it after finding out about Bee Hooi. I knew that everyone was writing in it and I knew it would be painful to read and I couldn't bring myself to read it. Today is the first time I'm reading the threads since last week when the news came out. And as I feared, I am in tears. I hope to be able to attend the funeral tomorrow. I have never attended a friend's funeral before and I can't believe that I will be saying goodbye to someone who was a friend, a fellow salsa dance partner and a colleague.

Watching that youtube clip of her speaking, though I didn't understand what she said was heartbreaking...to know that we can never be with her again. I'd like to think that at least before she first collapsed she had happy thoughts of coming back cos she was so optimistic all the time.

I keep wondering why God has taken her away when she had so much going for her and I think it's because he wants her in Heaven with him.
