Another death in the family…
The very sentence leaves you dry, as if something is being taken out of your body. Even worse if it’s the person you were the closest. I mean a mom, dad, grand parents, anyone you can’t live without!
I saw in one of my friend’s status messages on a chat window “Mom passed away” and that kind of threw me back. Not because of the what was mentioned, but I could actually see swollen eyes, an eeire house, lots of people in the house, lots of messages, phone calls, weeping, whining, lending shoulders to cry on… and everything otherwise in that order!
God! Its one of those moments we wouldn’t wanna be in anyone’s shoes.
We even pray that this should not happen to even our worst enemies.
But death does come knocking at our door.
And inspite of closing the door on its face, it apparently finds its own way. None we can do!
I tried it almost three times to the people I loved the most My mom, my dad and my grandpa… but then do you get a choice?
Death is nasty. It sucks. It’s heartless. It’s black. It only brings emptiness.
None we love and all we can hate!
I don’t want that to happen ever again… Can I have this wish?
I guess I can’t. Mortal souls do perish some day. How far can we push the limits? And how long?
I don’t think there’s anything that we can do to postpone it. I mean when it happens it has to happen. It will happen.
But then with death comes a new life.
A life ahead full of memories of the past.
Things you did together.
Things that mattered.
Things that made lots of sense and lots of nonsense too!
For you to enjoy these memories…
Don’t you think you need to take a step today to bring that happiness and peace within you and to the people around you?
Take that step today. With yourself. With people around you.
This life is too good. Don’t pray for a better one. Make it a better one.
I challenge you… You will not only have the best memories… You actually move on!
