I have been feeling very sad since yesterday because I just found out that a very good friend of mine has passed away 2 years ago and I didn’t even know about it until recently.

We met online from a website 5 years ago and we started chatting. He’s from Kuala Lumpur and we have become very good friends ever since. He came to Penang to visit me a few times. I don’t know his family members at all, I mean I do know them from what he told me, but I have never met them before.

We have not been contacting each other for quite some time already and suddenly I just thought of giving him a call to see how he’s doing, but I got the shock of life when his daughter told me that he has passed away 2 years ago, and he was only 52 years old.

I know he has been having some heart problem but he really enjoyed eating. I always advice him to watch his cholesterol. I just feel very bad because I wasn’t there for him when he was feeling sick.

I just can’t help thinking of him and my tears will just flow down my face whenever I think of him. I shouldn’t have waited so long to keep in touch with him. I really regret my action.

My friends, if you have someone that you hold very dear to you in your heart, don’t ever forget them. Always keep them in your thoughts and keep in touch with them whenever you have the opportunity. Great friends are very hard to find. I know because I just lost one great friend.
