i can't imagine how it would be like, how it would feel to me if i was in her position.
but i can try and imagine the pain, the shock, the sadness that would occur.
it also striked (stroke?) me that on saturday morning, we were having fun, drinking cidar, eating crepes, shopping around the markets, eating ice cream, while her family was beaten to death. her dad, her mum, her two brothers, and her aunt.
when we received the news of the tragedy, we were all so shocked, so upset for our dear friend, it is so brave of her, having to deal with this terrible situation, at a mere age of 15. i would also like to say that her friend was really brave in keeping the news to herself, not wanting to upset anyone else in the tour. it must have been hard to keep it quiet, i would have wanted to tell everyone so that i could have some comfort and support.
We would all like to tell her that she must stay strong, life must go on, and we are always here for you.
R.I.P. Lin's family.
