Too young to die
I met up with an old friend cum ex-colleague recently, she told me about a sad news about our old boss. Well, before I came back to my hometown and before I started my own preschool and tutoring business, I used to work in private colleges. My ex-boss was a very nice and kind woman that I have a lot of respects for.
I worked under her for about 4 years. She gave me a lot of opportunities, training and exposures outside of teaching. One thing that I always heard while I was working with her was, people like to gossip about her tall and beautiful daughter who was a teenager at that time didn’t look like her at all. People forgot that she has a good looking husband, her daughter must had gotten the good gene from her father.
Anyway, it was a totally shocking news to me that this beautiful young lady had died in a car accident recently! She must be in her mid twenties, just started her career and had just started a relationship or maybe looking forward to get married, everything must be looking so bright for her.
I haven’t seen my old boss for some time but I know she must be really devastated with the loss. Furthermore, she has only one daughter, who was like a precious diamond holding in her and her husband’s palms all the time. Apparently, her daughter met with an accident in the middle of the night on the way home from a pub. She had an head on with the other driver who was driving under influence.
That guy was eventually charged in the court and put into prison. It was too much for my boss and her husband to deal with all the legal things after the loss, they have engaged reliable Lawyers to follow up with the case and the insurance claims.
It broke my heart when I heard this news. I’d always been very close to my old boss. It always felt like she was my mother the way she always mentored me when I was working with her. I’m still shocked by the news, and I’m hoping that it isn’t true. I certainly hope that they have hired the best lawyer who will do a good job of at least getting them the right compensation, though their precious daughter’s life can never be compensated in ANY ways!
