Treasure your loved ones
Today is the death anniversary of someone who was once very dear to me. Time passes by like a speeding bullet. in a blink of an eye it has already been 5 years.
I could still remember vividly the day we had to make a decision to let her go. It was pouring heavily, we were sat at the waiting area feeling really lost. I was shattered by the news we had to unplug her from the life support. I was angry that God did not show up to perform a miracle. I could not understand why she did what she did and I was mad at her for being so selfish, leaving us to pick up the shattered pieces. I could not understand her intentions.
Depression is a horrible illness. It eats you up slowly. she was once a joyful and happy girl but life has altered her. For years i reenacted different situations and scenarios in my mind, thinking had I done this or that, the result might be different and she would still be with us. Unfortunately, we all know that the result would still be the same and I have come to terms with this. It is true that time will soothe the sadness although time has also added a lot more wrinkles on my face. Time helped me to understand we are not perfect and have our own challenges to face.
Treasure your loved ones and ring someone to tell them how much you love them. Live the life you want to because life is to short!!
A storm will not stay for too long. You will always see the sun shinning brightly at you!!
