Condolance for Maria's Father

Yesterday afternoon i were shocked with news from Maria that her father was in coma because severe heart attack.
We cry and hugging each other so tight, at my working desk.
At 6.10 pm when we went to our room at base camp, she phoned me and said her father already passed away, in Medan.
I know her feelings, it's really hard to loose someone that you love so much.
Today she fly back to Medan and hopely will arrive at 2pm noon.
I feel so sad.
I just hope that she will have strength to move on...

To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
