Condolence

Life is unexpectedly short sometimes.......no, most of the time. You'll never know when is your time to go, and when you know it, it's already too late. You're gone.

This is a reminder to you to treasure the people around you, be it your parents, your grandparents, your siblings, your best friend, your colleagues, your neighbours. Treat them nice, be patient with them, listen to what they have to say, let them know you appreciate them. Trust me because if the last them you say to them before they pass on, is a harsh thing or a quarrel or something mean, it will haunt your conscience forever.

A good friend of mine, her mother passed away recently. It's really an unexpected turn of event. Her mother was not suffering from chronic diseases nor was it an accident. She just.......left. My friend found her in the morning, she had stopped breathing.

It's not an easy thing to accept for anyone. But if what had happened must happen, i don't think she would want it to happen any other way. Looking on the bright side, she wasn't suffering from illness when she moved on, it was really peaceful.

It had happened, nevertheless, and i'm sure she wouldn't want to see anyone continue shedding tears for her. I'm sure she would want to see everyone moved on with their lives, keeping her in memory, always remembering her.

I'm not particularly close to her mom, but she's one of those "moms of my friends" that actually remember my name. I remember her as a very cheerful person, quite naggy sometimes but it's definitely for the best of her children.



Have you told your parents how much you loved them today?
