This ex school friend of mine is 34 years old and until now I have no idea why he died. I was never close to him at school, but I remember him clearly. While I was browsing through his pics, I saw his prewedding photos and I couldn't help thinking, "You go through life not knowing what'll happen next. You find your spouse, get married, and plan for the future, though each day may be your last."
Many times over I get a reminder of how precious life is, how we should cherish each moment we have with our loved ones. I pray that God comforts all the bereaved in the world and I hope that the bereaved let themselves feel God's comfort and not close themselves up in their pain and grief.
On an altogether different note, I've been so busy at work 'coz two people quit this month and then another coworker got sick last week and another one got sick this week, so it's been kinda crazy. I hope nobody else gets sick. Today is also a busy day for me 'coz I have to do so many things. So far I've baked 2 cakes, cooked some food, clean up some snow from the yard (R2 did most yesterday but there's still some left), and now I need to clean up the house 'coz I won't have time anymore later on.
So, if I don't blog until after Christmas, I just wanna wish you all:
Life is definitely fleeting, and my only hope is that when we're reminded of it, we can appreciate what we have that much more, just like you said. It's always both sad and a tad scary when someone you knew goes so early and leaves so much behind.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, too!
Sorry about your school friend Amel. Yep, it is a stark reminder, not to forgot to live in the moment. Sad. Thinking of his family. Having lost my Dad when he was around the same age, I feel for the family.
