I just received a very sad news from my mom. she called me last night. she told me that Tou’s father had pass away yesterday. i know it’s going to happen sooner or later since tou had told me last time. tou is my best friend at RUA (Royal University of Agriculture). i also treat him as my brother because he always take care of me while i study over there. i used to see his father a few times when he still alive. mostly i met tou’s mother. she is a kind woman, and she likes me as well 🙂
the day that tou’s father passed away is the day that tou has to leave cambodia come to study at USA. his father pass away at 7AM, and his flight at 10 AM. he already cancel the flight and change the schedule. he wants to finish all the ceremony. i told him that he should come at least a week ahead. i’m afraid he cannot catch up with other students. i can understand his feeling. 🙁 i called to him last night and i also talked with his mother. my cousin also go to help them with ceremony. i also asked my mom “Chol Bon” for me and bong kun.
i don’t want to get old because i’m afraid of sickness. Pu Rithy’s mom just passed away last year, and now Tou’s father passed away yesterday. they both pass away from illness. 🙁 this is the cycle of life i guess.
