Anyway, she said that people in FB was asking to look for him because he went missing since yesterday, after some Adidas Run thing. I thought it was bullshit until I went to FB and checked out for myself, what the commotion was all about. As I was reading FB statuses and notes, it suddenly struck me all this bullshit was actually no bullshit at all. It was for real.
I quickly sms-ed Stephanie to confirm and she said that it was true. Gary collapsed after the run and went missing after the paramedics took him to where ever. After few minutes, I got more sms-ed from her. It seems, he was found but his condition was not good at all. I was a bit irritated because the stories didnt seem to be complete. I even read some messages on FB saying his body was found, still missing, found, etc. Which is which now??
While pondering on which could be the possible true story, the sister send me this video link. I watched it but didnt turn on the volume so, not too sure what is it about.
This was recorded by some guy who was at the finishing line and witnessed this.
After watchin this clip, I started to wonder how did he collapse? How did he go missing? I still couldnt understand. I told Stephanie that I would call her later work to get the full details.
Halfway doing my wotk, I got another sms from her which says 'Gary has left us. Pray for him.' I was totally shocked!! What did she mean by 'left us'?? I couldnt believe it and I didnt want to believe it. It all became more real when I read FB statuses saying 'RIP Gary'.
At first, I was pretty cool and calm. I was actually telling Sumeet and Stephy this story and also updated them saying that Gary left us. Stephy actually cried. When she said she cried, I started crying. I quickly headed to the toilet and let the tears flow. Tears were still flowing when I got back to my seat but I think I managed to cover up properly la.
Its so ironic how I was planning to call Gary on my birthday after he wished me. I wanted to call because I had free calls from Maxis and just talk to catch up. Its also ironic how I was planning to sms him and invite him for a catching-up session I planned with Stephanie.
The last time I saw gary was last year, in September during Stephanie's birthday party. That was the last time we spoke and even hugged. I remember planning to meet up again but we never did.
That was taken during the last time we met.
Who would've thought that the next time we meet was like this? Saddening indeed and this has taught me that life is muthakcuking short. We must appreciate what we have and the people around us.
The last thing I heard was that post mortem is no on-going as I type these words. Really curious to know what happened.
Dearest Gary,
I really hope you are happier now in heaven, hanging out with God. I will always remember the times we used to hang out in primary school and the times you used to hit me as a forfeit when we played games. I will also remember our other childhood days that i cant seem to remember now. Do be good and may you rest in peace.
Farewell, Gary Leon Robert (18 Aug 1987 - 3 Aug 2009)
Hugs,
Clair.
