The One With The Condolence To A Fallen Comrade

It is never easy
To hear that
A friend and colleague
Has passed away

Al-Fatihah to
Almarhum Khairil Hisham Ahmad
Who passed away
on 18 September 2008
While carrying out his official duties
As the
Charge d'Affaires, a.i.
In the Embassy of Malaysia in Tripoli, Libya

May his soul
Be among the blessed

It's always even harder
To find out
That his wife
Just gave birth recently

ALWAYS
ALWAYS
Wear your seatbelt
Life's lesson that should never go unsaid

I talked to him the day
Before the accident
And we laughed about so many things
And he was helping me
With getting to know
My future boss
(aka his former boss)

You never know who will go next
So, cherish every moment you have

R.I.P.
