Remember Always

I remember reading a very intelligent write-up on life and death. How we remember the living who are famous? How do we remember those who are dead? It was an argument on which leaves a deeper and more meaningful imprint on others. I do not have the article with me now, but I will post it up when I am back in Canada.

Recently, a friend's friend passed away. He was the only son. Drowned. Some undercurrent. His father held a deep regret. He wished he had spent more time with his son.

Some may say, perhaps, it was fated. Fated to live only 20 years on Earth. Fated to have him as a son for 20 years only ...

We do take life for granted, be it ours or others. And we realize whom we took for granted only after they've gone. Oh well. That is the circle of life.

This gives me more reason to let him know how I feel. We'll never know what tomorrow brings. We'll never know what will happen in the near future. Spend and treasure every moment with our loved ones. At least, you will live to remember them, and that is the greatest thing you can do for the deceased ... to always remember.

about me

Home: KL, Malaysia
School: U of A

I am someone who frets a lot - I call it a psychological disorder. I am constantly trying to escape my complex mind which, very often, drives me and my close companions to the edge of insanity. Born under the sun star Libra, I am greatly affected by a disease called "indecisiveness". Nicknames were never part of my dictionary until I met some people who decided to name me "turtle". Soon, I was representing a zoo of hamsters, "sotongs", pigs, cats, etc...
