Today was a sad day for a family of my Hubby's colleague. The lady (who was a co-worker of his) passed away today. To say that it was a shock was an understatement. We were just discussing that Hubby should drop by the hospital to visit her (during our dinner last night) ... but now she's gone .....
I've never met this lady but I was very sad when I heard of her passing. Why? ... I don't really know. Maybe when I heard that she was in a coma recently ... I felt very very sad for her. How can a person be ok one minute and in a coma soon after?!
Isn't life unpredictable? We go through life, work hard, worry daily, plan for the future but not everything goes as planned. We constantly worry about our children, our parents but when its time for us to go ... no one knows.
Whoever we leave behind is filled with heartache but for the one that leaves ... its actually even harder. There are so many things left undone, places to visit, words left unsaid, resolutions unachieved ... so much more to life that is left undone.
What we have now ... we must cherish it. We never know if our time is up tomorrow. We go through life never really expecting our passing to come so suddenly. But life isn't a fairytale and there are no happy endings. As much as we want to be there for our family, when our time is up ... we won't be able to stay.
So ... hug your kids and your partner tighter tonight. Tell them you love them. Tell them they mean the world to you. Tell them they are everything to you. Tell them that you'll miss them when it's time for you to go. Then go to sleep ... after you kissed them. Smile as you sleep ... for if you never wake up ... you've told the people that you love how much they mean to you.
Sweet Dreams!
