The Unexpected

Can you imagine how one's life can end in a split second? One moment they're there with you...beside you...loving you. They're actually real. And the minute you blink your eyes, they're just gone. It's like they evaporated into thin air. It's like they were an illusion all these years. Death...unexpected death...

That's a tragic story of many people who's loved ones just passed away. Whether it's during an earthquake or caused by any sudden illness, it's just really tragic for them. They didn't expect it would be so soon...no one expects it. And when they're gone, you just feel lost. You feel like a part of you has just been torn away from life itself. What could they do but cry? What if your dad or mum died all of sudden right in front of your eyes? What if it were to be your brother or sister? How would you feel then?

Life can be so unexpected. Life can be just so unfair to the many of us. We always complain that we're in a life that's not being nice to us. But what would life be then to people who lost their loved ones? Did they even have a chance to say 'I love you' one last time? Were they given the chance to look into those eyes and tell them that it would be alright? Or was all they saw just plain horror and fear in the eyes of their loved ones?

My mum would always tell me not to take the ones you love for granted and to always treasure whatever you have now. How many of us does that? Even I at times tend to neglect those advices...until something bad happens. But by then it would be too late. The clock never turns back. Time waits for no men. Once it passes, it's past. So, those reading this, I hope you'll start treasuring the people you love now. You'll never know when their last day would be....you'll never know when YOUR last day would come. Death will come for us all one day.....make the best of what you have now. It's never too late...
