Wedding Bells...Has Stopped Ringing

My friend's mother had passed away…

Another human had left this world and moved on the next…

From religion's point of view, God had taken her…

At the moment, I had no idea what to blog about.

The news came this morning and I could still feel the uneasiness inside me.

I'm also not sure how my friend is feeling now…

When I start to think about my age (I'm about 27 this year), there is also fear in me when I start to see people around me aging and some leaving.

When we are at our age, we are scaling the corporate ladder, building our families, bringing up our children…

many times when we see younger children, they somehow make us remember how we were like when we were their age.

And now, some of us are married, others will soon get married…

time had passed so fast and we are all grown-ups now…

What if we imagine right now, our children in their thirties…how old will we be?

Lets add another 30 to our age and we will be 60 plus.

Oh my!!! It is really scary to the certain extent to think of ourselves having travelled most of our life journey.

Then, we may see our own children getting married…or even see our first grandchild…Hmmmm…quite a scene to look forward to…and by that time, the little baby in our arms may remind us of ourselves when we were babies…60 years ago…

But that time, I may recall how we first got married…or even way before that how I knew my wife…how I first saw her…our ups and downs we had been through all these 60 years…

For a moment, all the worries now don't matter…all the material needs don't seem to be as important as before…

what has become important is the time I have now…to see my wife…

And now I should stop here….because I want to spend the remaining time with her…not knowing what will happen tomorrow…or not even bothered by it at all…

Just the presence matters.
