a friends death

I guess that no matter how you try to escape from thinking of death, it can just pops up suddenly and shock you of a very sad reality in life especially when it comes unexpectedly and take a young friend of yours.

We unconsciously anticipate the death of people around us when they grow older. Nature does prepare us and to face our old people death along with preparing them as well to face it. At some point our bodies became so worn out that it can't handle to stay alive, but it comes in steps, in years of preparation where we learn to accept our destinies.

Unfortunately, it doesn't go naturally everytime. Sometimes, a young person dies. Just like this, suddenly, and before any previous alarm. No preparation at all. No signs of weakness, no sickness, nothing. Just some hopes, and dreams for a better future. To live happily for a long time to come.

All has been stripped away off with my childhood friend. I have received then a news a couple of month ago about her battling cancer. It was a late diagnosis...but she had still get to have an operation. Without any alarm. She is gone.

Eventhough I haven't seen her since I've arrived here, I can feel that she had lived a life full of happiness. I've missed her so much, she's my playmate, my acquaintance, a dear friend, a sister... and it really shocked me. It is hard to believe that someone can just leave this life suddenly especially when you know the person. I am sure it is even harder to believe on with her parents and siblings. May God help them in this crisis.

May she rest in peace.
