An Update: A sudden turn of events occurred this morning. A call was received by my other half that that said close family member (referred to in my Fri 251208 entry) & family would be coming...
" For what? ", me asked. Answer? Dunno. Maybe just a visit?
My response? "After what has happened? After 9 months...? "
Well, what ensued was a continuous flow of sms-es which finally confirmed the inevitable truth, namely, our "fren" did not, in the least, feel that he was arrogant, direspectful nor wrong in all his actions towards his beloved elder. Period. He even had the nerve & notion to say that the elder he'd wronged should be the one to go to his place to meet him because of his "tight schedule" managing his work & 2 kids! As if others, including managers, never had kids before. Moreover, what would you think of a manager who cannot manage to fit in time to settle such a serious & long outstanding family issue for NINE whole months? Do you believe that? Can you? Ever? 9 months...not 9 days or 9 weeks...
Anyway, it's too long to narrate here except that he went even as far as to question my belief in God. Somehow, I can't help feeling if he does believe in God himself. Somehow feel that a person who believes in God...a God-fearing person...would NEVER do what he had done! Not to an elder so related to him. Sad but true.
Me just wanna reiterate that
"What's not in the heart cannot be forced..."And... like in a famous quote...
"If that limb is gangrenous, we must cut it off to save the rest of the body..."
And so, in view of this latest turn of events & a long series of exchanges of sms-es, one has but only one way out. To accept that only God can open the eyes of such an unseeing person to the wrongs that he has committed and which he has, up to this day ( 9 months plus), still insists differently & unrepentantly! Imagine calling what transpired that morning a "Battle of words"! Wonder who's battling with him...probably himself?
My only prayer to God now is the hope that the day will come, with God's help & blessings, that he will see the light and return to the right path...be once again the person we thought we all knew & loved so...Amen.
Now for some happier events...
We have been invited to a wedding dinner of a former colleague's son tonight. Would be great to meet ole friends & former colleagues once more. That's what is so wonderful about such an event, besides celebrating & joining in the merriment of the wedding. Congrats, Ah P.... !! CU tonight lo...
The next day is a planned trip to Penang. To attend an arranged meet of relatives to share time with my other half's sister & hubby. They have come back to Malaysia for a holiday. And, as a concerned sis, she has bought & brought back supplies of the daily med for my other half. It would certainly be a "noisy" time with one & all! Ha ha! Thanks, CI!! Esp so for the thought...would be great to CU in person after so long...
Me would try to post pics of the above 2 events if me remember to snap some with my trusty ole N73 hp cam & they turn out clear enough.
3 more days before it's time to welcome in the New Year! With the confirmation of the inevitable outcome of that long outstanding family issue, its resolution & disposal, I now look forward to a truly Happy New Year 2009!! The obstacle hurdle has been cleared...& the "gangrenous limb" removed! We now know who we are to those around us and also where to go from here. The road ahead is clear.
My 2009 New Year Resolution? To be happy & thank God for His Blessings & All whom I love & who love me in return...
Happy New Year, Everyone!! PEACE.
