C - CANCER...
D - DEATH...
E - END???
those are the three words which prompted me to ponder on the things in life that we should look heavier upon.....
woke up to a Monday morning with a news of hubby's ex-collegemate's loss in her battle against leukaemia...she was only 35. A sweet friend, I was told; devoted and dedicated mother to a 4 year old boy....she fought a good 10 months battle before drawing her final breathe, surrounded by family members....
loved by many, remembered by all, she was truly an inspiration to all who knew her...
few articles were written about her by her close friends, 2 of which published in The Star a week after her passing....
Then a week later, came another news from hubby again - one of his friends' friend passed away......also from leukaemia, after only a 2 months battle with the disease....he was only 46, father to a young teenager and had so much in life to look forward to....
Then another news of hubby's business partner who was recently diagnosed with having the very early stage of prostate cancer. The C word is undoubtedly scary..............most of the time, it spells DEADLY....
Mom's friend, whom I grew up knowing as one of her closest and bestest buddies from work was also recently diagnosed with 3rd stage of lung cancer.........
All these news came pouring in within 2 weeks!
That really got me thinking......yes! we all know that death is unvoidable....but how can we make the most of our time in the universe....what matters most? who? why? when? thousands of questions ran through my head........we are all here for a certain period of time and there isnt such thing called permanent. whatever that we do are temporary....so how can we make it significant? memorable? remarkable?
Life in the universe is indeed short. Making the most out of it has become a mission for many. What we do today shall bear no regrets tomorrow - thats an aim many of us would wanna have...but how?
Living it on a daily basis like there's tomorrow. "Live like we're dying" - Kris Allen
That song was never an eye opener to me until the recent events which took place...it got me thinking; real hard........Live like we're dying....
But I'm a mother.....I have my children to think about....hundreds, if not thousands of questions have been popping in my head regarding my children's welfare should I leave this universe one day.....
But there'll never be answers to many of those questions....I'm just gonna accept this particular rule of life.
Death is inevitable *period*
Hence:-
Rejoice in life! Share and remember those happy moments....
Cherish every moment that you have with your loved ones!
Live without regrets...
Bear no grudges against no one...for hatred only bring sorrow...
Dont hold back in whatever intention that you may have for chances dont come too often...
...I will try my very best to walk the talk... how about you?

I really don't like the word 'death'.. or die... hate it!
Maybe I just can't accept my loved ones disappering from the face of this Earth. True, death is inevitable. But I'm pretty selfish :( I'd rather go first than to suffer in sorrow when my loved ones are gone!
Sigh.................
