Please Wake Up
2009 is looking to be one of the worst years ever. The bad news just never stops coming.
Last night I found out my dad's friend is in a coma. He was a close friend of my dad's and is like an uncle to me. He's in the construction business, and over the weekend he fell from two stories down while working at a client site. I'm not too sure of the details, but from what I know he still has not woke up.
Sam, or "Tor Sook" as my brothers and I used to call him, was very kind to our family. When I was in college he let me work for him and taught me a lot. He used to pay me a wage of $500 a week, and considering I knew NOTHING about construction and probably only provided very marginal help to him, it was an enormous sum of money. He grew up in the same village as my dad. They went through the same struggles when they were younger, and made their way from China to Hong Kong to America together. He and my dad were close, so I guess he was doing my dad a big favor by having me work for him. I worked for him for 2 straight summers.
I plan to go see him this weekend. I hope he wakes up soon.
