Life is a Story, Make Yours The Best Seller!
Life is indeed unpredictable. We never know what lies ahead, we never know when will be our life be taken away from us.
But certainly being human, we are destined to leave this material world. No one will ever live forever as our body is designed to age and eventually be unable to live a life considerably.
When we aged our body will no longer be able to function perfectly until such time that the different organs in our system will degenerate and will cause malfunctions.
This will happen because our body will no longer be strong enough to fight infections, I mean our immune system wouldn’t be that strong to protect us when we are old. So we get sick and eventually will die.
But these things are normal. I mean that’s how life is supposed to be, we are born, grow and grow older and then become weak and die. The cycle seems to be simple as that but still, life is so mysterious.
We even think life is unfair sometimes. Things happened that can draw a lot of questions in our minds. Questions that seem to remain unanswered.
Just very recently, my whole family and the whole clan was traumatized by the news that my first cousin passed away. He was my Kuya Boyet, 26 years old son of my uncle, the older brother of my dad.
Things were so well with him until that day when his life was taken away from him. He was a jolly and very supportive Kuya of his 4 other siblings, and a loving dad of his 3-year-old son.
When my grandma died, its like I wasn’t that surprised anymore since she was already 75 and weak that time and had been hospitalized many times.
But my cousin’s case is different. He was well and sound days before and then suddenly he meets an accident that instantly claimed his life.
We were so sad loosing such a good person and as young as 26 is not easy. Here comes the question, questions in our minds that are left unanswered.
We believe that there’s a reason for everything, but when you are into such a depressed situation you can hardly understand and accept that indeed things happen for a reason.
The saddest part is that we cannot tell his mom who was rushed to the hospital because her BP rose up upon knowing about the accident. She was only informed that her son meets an accident and presently under ICU.
My cousin’s mother was confined in the hospital and not until about 3 days when her BP already subside a bit when she was told (unintentionally, because we’re afraid) about what happened.
I see the agony, I felt the pain, but who am I to not conform to what the creator allowed to happen?
With these circumstances in life, I realized that when the right time for us to leave this world, things will really happen when least expected. Life is full of uncertainties and human, as we are, doesn’t have the capacity to fathom, those are happenings that are beyond our ability to control as humans.
This photo was taken during his burial 4 days ago.
Our happy and memorable moments together with our other cousins.
This is where my cousin bumped his motorcycle that caused him to die of internal hemorrhage.
The innocent little boy my cousin left, not knowing that his “daddyo” as he calls his father will be gone forever. He only thought that his dad went out to work and didn’t come back yet. His innocence really moved us and felt pity for this little boy.
