hen people die, family, friends and colleagues grieves. It is innate to mankind to mourn for the lost of a loved one; but a day or two shall pass and each life will go back to normal as if nothing happened. Depending on how deep the relationship had been built, some may recover for weeks, some for months, years while other will just go on with their lives the day after the burial. It’s a great thing that some people can just go back to normal couple of days or months after such events; this may mean that they have moved on and that they believe that the deceased has already reunited with the creator above. On the other hand, some, or mostly families of the person departed find it hard to let go and move ahead. Losing someone who has been directly part of your life is really an excruciating experience. I am not getting sympathy but I have also lost a couple of friends and family members; I know how it feels to wake up one day not seeing that person as you used to be, and I know some of you also do.
Let’s see it the other way around; if you’ll be on your deathbed for sure you want to be given that much attention and want to be remembered when you died. Unfortunately, there are some people who just wouldn’t care. This is the sad truth that everyone will experience in the future. Your boss, your childhood playmates and even your friends will surely be sad upon hearing your demise; but that’s the least thing they could do. They will be back on track as if nothing happened in no time.
On a lighter note, enjoy life. As an old saying goes “Live life to the fullest”. Make every hour of your life count. Most importantly, share it and be a blessing to everyone; with this, for sure you have made a mark and will always be remembered.
TO ALL DEPARTED SOULS, TO MY BROTHER, GRANDPARENTS AND TO GOOD FRIENDS RAMONA VILLARISCO-MANGALAO and ANDREA OCAMPO, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!
