Just this morning, I heard that my friend's brother died in a motorcycle accident. I'm not sure of the details, but because of this piece of shattering news, he's going back to his country in the next earliest flight available.
To think he just got accepted for a job finally after going on a job-hunt for more than 4 months. And only last night, we were talking about taking a trip down to Kyoto for the holidays... *sigh*
Life's surprises are too surprising; dreadful, cruel, and unjust. Yet sometimes it can be so beautiful, joyful, and wholly unexpected that it can't be nothing short than a true miracle.
When you thought things have finally settled down and that the road seems to straighten out its curves, a sharp bend suddenly careens you out of control, leaving you grasping frantically on the wheel wondering, "Where the heck did that come from?!"
I am well aware that death is to be expected and that life is but an instant, but to have it taken out of you so abruptly, it's just SO unfair. I seriously can't imagine what I'd do if my own brother would suddenly go away like that. Granted, me and him have fought for so long and reconciled many times more, then went entirely into war and into a truce. But I love my family, and they have always been there for me. I've taken it as a fact that they're always there, just an email or a call away.
And that even with 6 months of notice, my family considered my leaving for a Japan still "a shock" is proof that no matter how many days, months, years, or even a lifetime it would take, nothing could ever mentally and psychologically prepare anyone for the sudden departure of someone they loved...
My thoughts and prayers go to those who have been treated unfair by life and its awful truth. And to my friend's brother:
May you find peace and comfort with such sincere friends and a loving family, and may all those you have asked be answered. Eternal rest I hope have been granted and light lead you into God's arms.
Today has gotten much colder. Painfully so.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about this...Life really does love to throw curveballs at you as soon as you think you've got it figured out for awhile, and have a little peace. The death of a loved one is so awful, I will keep your friend's well being and that of his family in my thoughts and prayers today.
It doesn't even matter if I don't know them - I've felt the kindness of people who are complete strangers to me wishing me well, and just knowing that they thought of me and my situation was enough to lighten the load, at least a little bit. I hope that the good vibes I'm sending will also give your friend some comfort in a similar way. I hope you're getting along ok with this news, too. Try to keep warm, and take care!
Thank you much for your support, I'm sure it would be much appreciated.
I'm just sad that an accident would happen just before Christmas, it's so awful. My friend already has a flight scheduled to leave this afternoon...
Godspeed my friend.
