Those we love and lose are always connected by heartstrings into infinity.
-Terri Guillemets
We are all aware of death, and we know it will come to us all. Death is a inseparable part of life. If we are to live life honestly and without fear, we have to also accept that death is ultimately inevitable.
The story I was about to write was the tragedy that was happened just this week. Last Sunday, January 17, 2019 my uncle was had an accident at the diversion road early in the morning. He has seen there that sunday morning but actually the accident was happened in Saturday evening. We were shocked that time because we didn’t expect that he was there all night long and the temperature that moment was so cold. He was hospitalized for about 5 days but in a critical condition. His heartbeat was mislaying from time to time that is why he was transferred at the Batangas hospital. This week, I was assigned at the work immersion program and I was not able to visit my uncle when he was still at Lemery Doctors Medical Center. This Thursday evening, with the connection of my cousin at the hospital he said that the condition of our uncle was not good and that time I was revising our papers for research because the submission of it was on the next day. Even though I am tired and have to got up early for work immersion I still finished our papers and went to sleep at already 1:00 morning. For the reason that our uncle has passed away, our mother woke up at 3:00 morning to clean up the mess on the place where the wake will be set. At earlier 7:30 we arrived at NFRDI and we were surprised from the news that we heard. one of the facilitators of NFRDI was brought at the hospital because he can’t move his whole body. As time passes by, they said that he underwent stroke and became comatose. We didn’t have so much activity at fisheries because of that incident so that we prayed for his fast recovery. At 7:00 in the evening someone chatted at our group and said that Sir has already passed away. Two persons that was close to me were died at the same day. I know that God has purpose for this battle that I was suffering but I just can’t believe that they died quickly as a disaster that gave a debris.
“The tragedy never goes away, you just learn how to cope with it and keep moving on”
Trying to overcome this heartbreaking experience was awful and seemed to take forever. I thought that if I could die I could be with my uncle and also Sir in heaven. In this case, when we are still alive cherish every moment with your loved ones because death is going to happen in life when we least expect it. No one knows the hour, or time when it ‘s their turn to pass away.
“A special SMILE, a special FACE in our HEARTS, a special PLACE, MEMORIES are a gift to TREASURE , ours of you, will last FOREVER.
