Dear Friends, as some of you know I am supposed be on a two weeks vacation in Europe, and most of you will wonder at title of the post, but I could not think of anything that would get your attention.
Our vacation was supposed be a group of people, total 31 of us. All close friends of ours.
Our trip was supposed to start on July 26th, we we to fly to Madrid, but our flight got delayed and then cancelled. We finally took off at 2pm on Friday.
Our first day in Madrid was the most fabulous experience of my life, such a beautiful city and we all had great time, laughing and joking.
Yesterday morning we were to travel to Valencia in our private coach and trip started out well but half way there it ended on a very sad note.
One of our closest friend died on the spot of either heartattack or pulmonary embolism. He was very young and has one daughter who is only 7 years old.
Just as he got off the coach he fell and stopped breathing, we tried for 45 minutes but could not do anything and finally I had to hold his wife in my arms next to his body while the doctor tried to tell her that he was gone.
This has been a life altering experience for me not only personally but also professionally. All my knowledge and training did not help my friends one bit.
Please I request you pray for my friends and their daughter, who is in USA with her grandparents.

Oh Shilpa. What sad news. May god grant his soul salvation. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all and his family.
From me I send you a big hug. To lose someone when you are attending to them and trying so hard to save them is frightening. I hope that there is someone on hand that you can talk to as it will be tough for you too. You know you can always pm me if you wish. Do not deal with this alone.

This is very sad news. My condolences to your friend's family.

You have done what you could do. It seemed it was his time to go, untimely or not. To the onlookers, family and friends, it is painful to bear but for him it seemed he was relaxed and having a good time.

Wishing all of you travelling onwards a safe travel for the remainder of the stay.

Shilpa --2 things which the Lord has not given us are life & death...they go as per his calendar & his time...I know it is very difficult to accept it especially for the family but life has to go on...I pray that the family & friends especially your friend's wife & daughter have peace as they move forward in life.
Your friend is in a safe place with the Lord who has created him.
