I learnt about the passing of D's cousin today. Although I did not know her personally, I did meet her in person before and that was just a few months ago. It was cancer that claimed her life. I remember her telling us excitedly about a cafe at Vivocity which had swings as seats. She had seemed so happy then, sharing with us her little discovery. We never managed to find that cafe she was talking about.
Somehow whenever I went to Vivo after that, I would remember what she had told us because of her unusual excitement. Just like a child. Yet, she's actually more than 10 years older than myself only.
It was when I found out about her selfless decision to serve God that touched me when I heard about it. Not an easy decision to make. However, all the more I would wonder to myself why fate is sometimes so cruel and why death cannot be postponed to an age which we could call a "ripe old age". From a religious point of view, I could say that God just wanted her to move on from here and leave behind this world which is after all, a cruel one, to join him somewhere where there is eternal and blissful existence.
But I suppose all humans would agree that it wouldn't hurt to let a person live longer to fulfill dreams and experience more.
I hereby just hoped that she had left peacefully after all the struggle and that she's in a much happier place.Labels: Uncategorized
