The passage of life and death
(Tuesday, October 20, 2009/12:47 AM)
Just received news today from my parents that my maternal ah-gong passed away... I thought I could handle deaths in my family well enough, cos' I've already experienced the passing of my paternal grandpa 4 years ago. But I guess it still affects me cos' it's never a good feeling to have someone close to me gone forever.
The actual funeral is held exactly on my birthday, 22nd Oct, and my mum advised me not to go cos' she's superstitious about such conflicts. Despite that, I shall pay my respects on Weds, 21st Oct, otherwise I'll be so ashamed of myself for being such an unfilial grandson.
I guess it's gonna be a lonely b'day for me cos' my parents were intending to have a b'day dinner but now they're tied up with the funeral proceedings. Even if a kindhearted friend decides to stand in the gap for me, I doubt I can genuinely enjoy...
Oh well, life's gotta go on. Death is a natural process of our fragile human life on earth. Only in eternity with God will we enjoy everlasting bliss. I realize how short life can be. I'm gonna make every moment count. For the sake of my loved ones who passed away. For the sake of my family and friends around me. And most importantly of all, for the sake of God and His kingdom. =)
By the way, thank you to all those who remember my b'day, celebrated (or will be celebrating) my b'day. I feel truly blessed. =) Good night!
