Condolence Prayer

Hi all,

The subject seems irrational, but believe me, many of us do not know how to behave when we meet the parents of the expiration.

Last week we received an SMS with our MBA professors have been canceled since our teacher mother expired.

I immediately sent him an sms saying condolences "Sorry to hear about the sad demise of your mother. Our sincere condolences to you."

He quickly answered back with an sms saying: "God bless your prayers are much needed."

I called my MBA friends whether we could go to our teacher instead. My friends suggested that since speakers Friday and Saturday were canceled, it would be preferable to decide the conference on Sunday, then go to the place of the teacher who is ready with the whole class. I agree.

Today, Sunday, we had another conference. Meanwhile, we have sent an SMS to our teacher if we could come at 2:15 pm after the conference was over. He replied with a statement and gave us his address.

Our teacher left early because we were done with the conference. We all moved to the place of the teacher. We got there but he had gone to his prayers. We decided to sit the entrance of his building and informed the same SMS to him.

He finished his prayer, welcomed us and asked us to visit his house. We had the Interior decided to meet here and do come back, but when he called us, we could not say a word and quietly went to his home.

He has presented his wife and children. She offered us water.

We felt uncomfortable and awkward to talk to him. It has been very low.

I started asking questions about communication, where his mother used to stay, what happened, how old was she, the professor father has now adjusted and so on ....

My teacher said he was happy to see us. He needs our prayers. He opened his heart and told us the details.

There was a long silence. My teacher just got up and went inside for something. I watched one of my friend and asked if we could leave, he shook his head and said quietly to 5 min. I nodded "OK".

My teacher would sit back and, when another friend got up impatiently and said: "Ok Mr. President, we leave."

My teacher said ok, but was surprised by our behavior. He wanted to spend time with us. I am 100% sure he knew that we feel uncomfortable, awkward and are not experienced, but then it really was not the way to behave.

I wanted to jump in between that can stand for 5 minutes more, but something holds me back.

As we left, our teacher said: "Take good care of your parents. Once you lose them, you'll realize how great is the loss and then you will not have the opportunity to prove how much you love them. "

I was touched by his words. We shook hands and left.

So I went down, I started to feel unhappy about the way we behaved. We should have sat for more time. It was time to repay. He needed us.

My friends consoled me by saying it was ok and the teacher will understand. But I still was not convinced.

I took my cellphone and sent a text message, "We're sorry, we wanted to spend more time with you, but we were a little uncomfortable. You have a beautiful family. May God bless you great force. may rest his soul in peace. "

He replied with a sms saying: "You are all like children to me. Your prayers will surely be in my soul of the mother. God bless you all. Please convey my feelings to the team. Your presence itself says a lot. I will pray for you all. "

I felt better, but learned a very important lesson.

My mother always tells me.
