forever doesn't exist

Death is what I fear the most. It is unavoidable. It is also unexpected. It's like a thief who steals someone's life. The life that is lost is priceless and it can't be replaced.

Last week, I had lost a grandfather. He died and left his family experiencing so much pain and sadness. It happened in just a blink of an eye. He didn't leave any farewell message. He only stared at his wife's face then he died with a smile. I feel sorry for his family. I can't control my tears whenever I see them suffering. I know that seeing me mourning wouldn't help them feel better. I also know that he wants them to forget all the sadness that they're experiencing now. All that we can give them is our support to overcome this unwanted happening.

While reading others' blogs, I saw the question "Do you believe that when someone dies, they become a star?". How I wish that they really become a star. A star that appears at night shining brightly in the sky. Their presence physically may disappear but the memories and love shared with them will remain in our hearts. It's the same as receiving a gift. This gift may be lost or broken but the thought of giving remains.

To all, please spend more time with your family. Treasure every second you spend with them. You'll never know that maybe today will be your last bonding time...
