Sorry to fill the last two pages with depressing news and hard times but I have one more. While visiting with my good friend Noman and Putu tonight they both had some sad news. Putu used to do my massages every other day so I got to know her well. She lost her job when the salon owners changed so she is out of work and on top of that her sister passed away just weeks ago leaving behind three children and a husband. Worse yet Nyoman, who is sitting next to her, tells me her husband passed away in his sleep only weeks ago. He was only 35, not sick, no problems that they knew of. She has two children 5 and 12 and was having trouble with making a living anyway… now she has to make it all on her own. We cried together… I can’t even imagine what it would be like to try to wake up your husband only to find out he is dead. They were very in love and she is extremely sad.
After my massage which I cried throughout... my friend Wayan brought me a bag of Rambutan fruit as a gift. Red stickery looking fruit with a lychee like white sweet center.
I will stop in and buy some gifts from Nyoman (I usually do anyway) and bring her some fresh juice.
