Today is 11 September 2008. Does it ring a bell? The September 11 fiasco when the Twin Tower (USA) collapsed. To me it's too far away yet the significance was quite so so - as I remember it our economy slide down - the value of a few shares I had (just a small amount) were devalued, therefore I lost a bit of money but the lost were not as great as that of the lost of love ones.
It was Saturday night when we attended a ball (dancing parties were the order of the day way back in 1985). As we entered the hall a girl who happen to be my former classmate pinned a corsage on my lapel. It was made of an orchid flower and a few strand of fern leaves. It was the last time I danced with my hubby for the next day he and my youngest son died due to drowning. Today as I looked at the dried flowers which I had pressed in between the leaves of my diary, my prayer goes to them. May they rest in peace in God's heaven.
