life is fragile..
things happen in life which make you realize that life is actually very fragile.. today my mum's car was involved in an accident with a motorcycle.. luckily, she wasn't hurt, but the motorcyclist was quite badly bruised..it sets me thinking, from how my mum described the accident, if she was travelling any faster, or had the motorcycle been speeding, either could have easily lost their lives.. that's why i say its important to treat all those around you, especially those you love, with care and concern so that in the event that they unfortunately go away to a better place known as heaven, you'll will have no regrets..
saying this, it reminds me of an incident.. when my grandfather was around, my mum treated him with utmost respect and never-ending care.. constantly ferrying himm to medical appointments or helping him run errands etc.. he once commented that no one could ever find a more filial daughter-in-law then my mum..
then this unfortunate day when my grandfather got a stroke and was bed-ridden, none of my dad's siblings offered, let alone took care of my grandfather except, as you can guess, my dad and mum..
sad to say, not long after my grandfather passed away.. just as his body was pushed into the cremation furnace to be cremated.. my dad's eldest sister wailed and cried the loudest.. my dad and mum stood by and did not even shed a tear, though they looked real sad.. when i asked my mum why later on, she replied, "when he was around, we already gave him the best we could.. we have no regrets, now that he has since moved on to a better life" (these were not her exact words, meaning roughly about there..)
as they say, death is not the end of life, but a new beginning of a journey with god
