What a Week

Hello,
It's the end of another week that has wheezed past me as it's almost a week since I blogged. A short week for some of us but it's a long week for others. Those who were waiting for some love one to return (like the mother who was waiting for news of her daugther who were lost in the canal) would have found time difficult to pass when every second which dragged by without news is heart wrenching.

Actually, it happened to a good friend of mine too. She lost her young son (who is only 27) in a car accident. It was an extremely excruciating time for her & the family as they were told of the car accident on one morning this week. A terrible loss to lose one's child (a young man at the peak of his life who has not the opportunity to enjoy all of life's journey). My heart goes to the family as all of us were greatly saddened & affected by this sudden news. Hopefully, our support extended to her will lend her some comfort and that she realised that she has many friends who will be there for her.

This makes me think of our own mortality & that every day could be our very last. We must make it a point to convey our love to our close family daily and never go to sleep at night with any grouch or quarrel unresolved at the end of each day. Treat it as if it's the last.

Mundane things in life can still be a joy & a blessing if we all accept that "living & breathing" is itself a great achievement. The bouquet is for those who "missed a beat" in life & may they go to a better place.

Hopefully, all of you who read my blog have a wonderful weekend ahead & that you can do one single thing now (which is to hug your loved one).
Good nite.
