the murderous earthquake on last wednesday only lasted for 46 seconds. but it took my friend and twenty of her students away forever.
her name was destelina. she was such a sweet and tender lady. i have nothing bad to say about her even if she were still alive at this moment. she was always a favorite biology teacher amongst her students.
i remember i went to her hometown to attend her wedding four years ago. she wore an indian wedding gown. it was green and fitted her well. she was so beautiful.
this weekend, again, i will come to her hometown. this time i come to mourn and i hate it. i never like funeral. separation really hurts me.
my heart goes to her toddler child. losing a mother at such a tender age is not something easy to go thru. but i believe destelina will always be with her. and i will always remember her.
see you destelina.

Another heartbreaking story. Don’t know what to write, really. I’m sorry for you loosing a dear colleague in such a dramatic way. Sorry for next of kin for so tragically loosing a loved one. And thinking of her child I just feel bad. It is so senseless, cruel and sad.

the same thing applied to me. i did not know what to write either. i did not even extend my condolence to her husband. i was speechless.
