An Unexpected Visit of the Reaper

Friday, August 14, 2009 comments

The other day, I was informed with a terrible news. My friend's father died. It was sudden and surprising, definitely not expected. They say that the death was caused by a motorcycle accident. My friend's father was driving home when the tragedy happened. It was said that he just got out of balance while driving at a steep rough road. An internal organ was damaged which caused his death. He was not drunk at all nor there was any other vehicle involved. The reaper just made its visit and took him.

Having to hear this news I feel bad for my friend. Condolence to him and his family. But besides this loss, it also made me think that what if the same thing happens to me? I own a motorcycle and I have been driving for about 4 years now. I have encountered some accidents before but nothing huge. Thank God I'm still alive. I hope that the reaper won't visit me yet. I still have plenty of plans in my life and my goals are yet too far to reach.

But hey! This is life. We'll never know when, where, and how our story ends. Upon knowing this incident, it made me realize more about how to deal with my daily living. I thank God for each day I live. I let the people I love feel that I love them. And most of all, I enjoy each day like there's no tomorrow. Life is short, might as well make the most out of it.
