This morning, I received a phone call from one of my close friends, Nikko, which immediately changed this bright sunny day into a dark terrible pit of endless sorrow. He told me that Diane’s dad had just 36 , at 12:00 on January 3,2008.
Nikko told me that Diane had 37 everything about her dad on her blog, so I 38 right up from bed and got to her blog instantly. Her blog, always so 39 and nice, is suddenly filled with sorrow and grief.
She must have been writing with 40 streaming down her cheeks, with eyes so 41 from the sleepless night, and with a heart so 42 and regretful and yet, she wrote the post, full of determination and will, 43 strength and love. She showed no 44 of weakness and retreat. She 45 that she didn’t notice how her father was feeling before the sudden stroke (中风) 46 him on his sleep. I feel so sorry for her , as her close friend, that I am not able to give her my support and a shoulder to 47 because I live so far away. But I know she will be 48 . She had determined to become the pillar(支柱) of 49 for her mom and her brother.
Although Diane’s father is no longer 50 , his memories would always be with his family. I gave Diane my deepest condolence（吊唁）for her 51 of her most beloved one.
I have known Diane and her family ever since we were in primary school. 52 can be really cruel sometimes, 53 someone or something you have learned to love and rely on. A(n) 54 death like Diane’s father is the most sorrowful. Destiny didn’t even give his family the 55 to say their last goodbyes.
Diane wanted everyone to cherish their loved ones and do not wait until it’s already too late. Tell them you love them and let them know how you feel before it’s too late.
