I'm deeply sorry a friend lost his dad today. I dint know how to start the story but I am really saddened. We talked earlier today about how he as neglected his own life to take responsibility of his dad, he spend everything he have even borrow money because of his dad's health. I told him before to call his siblings for help but he get angry anytime we discuss about it.

He is also owing me some money and he has been posting me on when he will pay me back. He will tell me he's not getting the money and all which I later ask him some weeks ago about his dad and he told me he was in coma. He said he had cancer,diabetes and high BP. I felt so pity for him and at the same time ask for my money which he said he was expecting some money and he will only send me little because he need to pay his dad's hospital bills. Ever since that day he didn't call back nor send the money, so I decided to call him this morning.

I called him 7:07am today, when he picked the call I can sense from his voice I woke him up. I challenged him for not checking on me even if he didn't have my money, I ask of his dad's health and he said he as not open his eyes that he was still in coma. Then the talk started, I told him to call his siblings for help if not, if the man died they will accused him for killing him, i told him he already tried and nobody will say he as not tried enough, leaving his political career at stake, leaving his relationship at stake and even his future. I told him not to let the man died without him calling the attention of his siblings. I ask him if assuming he is married with children will he leave his family with nothing to care for their needs which he was accusing his siblings because he was the only one that is single at his 40s.

To cut the long story short,after the discussion, he promised to call back in the afternoon which I told him he won't call back. We even bet that if he did not call before 4pm he must give me anything I requested for and he accepted.

Now this afternoon around 2pm, he called me and tell me his dad is dead 😢 😭 😿 😢 😭 😿 . I wish I didn't say all I said this morning . I felt like I saw it coming already. I feel pain in my heart when I heard it eventhough I don't know his dad.

You see our tongue sometimes is so powerful than we can imagine and we ought to be careful anything that we say.

The tongue has no bones. Unfortunately, we cannot take back what was said. That's why we have to be very careful and thoughtful when speaking. From your point of view, you are right. After all, you want what is rightfully yours.
