Life Is Too Short

I got a very sad news yesterday. It shocked our whole batch, including me. A friend passed away....

Why so sudden? She's so young and full of life. But, I know that she is in good hands now. I know that she wanted us to laugh instead of grieve and be sad. But, I can't help it. One way or the other, death is something painful. Even though, some people say death is something to be celebrated about for the departed will join the kingdom of God, or it is only the beginning of a new and everlasting happiness, I just can't help but cry.

I was teary-eyed and speechless for a while. Then, reality struck me. Indeed, life is too short for all of us. We will never really know when we will be gone. One day, it is a happy day for all of us, and the next day will be gloomy. That's why, I reflected for a moment and think about things and people around me. Did I do any harm towards other people? Did I say "Thank You!" or "I Love You!" to important people in my life? Did I do something great to help others? Even though, this is just simple stuff, I think that we should really make the most out of our life every day because we can never tell.

I know that my friend is in a happy place right now. I thank God because she did not suffer much. She did live a happy and amazing life. I will surely miss her. But, I know she's just around guarding me, guarding all of us who dearly love her. For now, farewell my friend!
