This month alone i attended quite a number of wakes --- wakes of relatives, colleagues, loved ones of colleagues, loved ones of close friends. And within this span of time, it has dawned on me --- life is really that fragile. It is like a loose thread that may snap out any moment. No one can hold on to dear life, or bargain for a moratorium. Alive today, a goner tomorrow! In the end, it is death that triumphs --- the destiny of everyone.
Abby has a point in telling me --- 24 years at the most ... this could probably be the maximum, precious time I may get to enjoy or share with someone. How sad! Or, this estimate could run lesser than ten years. This is more sad!
Given this mindshift, I should now enjoy the moment as I was inclined in the past. The future is nebulous. I have learned this: no matter how carefully we map out or plan our destiny, the control is not ours. As life happens, so does death!
