You celebrate birth with joy and you commemorate death in sorrow. A love was gained, but now lost. A never ending story that all of a sudden stopped. Stopped in an exact moment at an exact time. All up until then, from being born… a pair of eyes saw, two hands felt, a heart beat, a brain thought. They physically existed. Now? Eyes are closed, hands are senseless, a heart stopped and a brain now thoughtless. To think they’ve vanished, never to be seen again. To think that you’ll never hear the softest of whispers or the loudest of roars from them ever again. To think that they are not here no longer but somewhere that is not earth.. is almost impossible. It is almost impossible to convince yourself that that was it. A life given, a life lost. When someone takes that one step out of your life and passes away, they leave only the memories and moments they shared with you behind. Your throat feels as deep as the ocean and the feeling of sorrow they left with you sinks deep to the bottom of your heart. A lost treasure.
To grandma, I’m missing you
To my good friend Lam, sorry for your loss
To the lost, rest easy.
of waiting for something good to happen in your life. It won’t happen if you just sit there. Do something about it and make it happen. Nothing will change for you unless you change for it. Nothing will come to you unless you come to it.
