Early Sunday morning, i got a call from my boss telling me that my officemate died. While he really abused his health when he was alive, the news shocked me nevertheless. i pity the family that he left behind: his four kids and the wife who has no job. the wife tells us that the bank is even threatening to foreclose on their mortgaged house. how could anyone help them? while there'd definitely be funds coming from everywhere, how long will that last? and what will the family do afterwards?
i could only pray. May God, in His infinite goodness, grant his soul eternal repose and give his family the strength to weather the tough months ahead.
