Tragedy

This week i was overwhelmed by two very sad news. the first one was a good friend's relative passed away due to illness. the last time i spoke to this friend, she mentioned that her relative was on recovery hence i didn't expect otherwise ...

The second news was of tragic. a church member of mine was found murdered in her own apartment. the police suspected robbery since the place was ransaked and valuables were missing. rob all you want, but why kill someone?

I was at the funeral service. i didn't know her personally but i remembered growing up in church knowing who she was and hearing her laughter. she had a loud voice and often laughed heartily. always chatty, always bubbly. i remembered her doing my make-up in one of my stage presentations when i was in my teens. so strange now to realise that that person has passed on, and in such a tragic manner.

Life is really so short. and dangerous. my senses are on radar now when m driving. people have no conscience these days ...

Also it makes me wonder if m making the most out of what i have, or m i wasting my life away? what will people remember me when i too leave this world? what will people say about me? what will be on my obituary? will someone miss me or cry of my departure?
