This so called Life

I attended a wake last night after work. I was teary-eyed upon looking at the mother of the child. Yes, our 4-year-old neighbor died yesterday morning. I was feeling very sad and sorry for the mother. Her eyes were already red from crying. I can't imagine how she's feeling at that very moment. As we talked on what had happened, I sense that they accepted the fact that her son was already gone and they did everything they could do to save him.

This reminds me that life is one of the precious things we have. We should live our lives to the fullest because we can never take back this life once it's gone. But what does life really means? Where does it come from? It is the soul that brings this earthly body to life? It's really a mystery to me and I think it will take me life time to understand it.

As I pray for the boy's soul to go to heaven, I realized something very important. I realized how important this so called life to me. That I should cherish every moment in my life and never let any chance and opportunity pass me by.

It's time to be happy. Let's celebrate life to the fullest.
