It has been more than a year now when the Covid19 outbreak started and changed the world. No one is an exempt, even the skeptics of this coronavirus thingy succumb to death. From first world down to the third world nations, economies crashing. Even the smallest unit of our society is affected, that is my family or yours, and must be your neighbors too.
This morning I was emotional to receive the news that my uncle, my mom's cousin died from Covid19 last month. The family didn't disclose this to the clan, and I don't know why, I mean Covid19 isn't that taboo anymore. However, he had poor relations with his wife and children, must be the reason why the family was silent. I talked to his son and yes he really felt bad about the whole thing - that he wasn't able to see his dad for some time because of a family problem, and wasn't able to see him for the last time because of this Covid19 ordeal. Moreover, I can feel that everything was left hanging for them, a lot of whys and I know no one was ready to say goodbye. At the back of my mind, I know its hurting them not able to sort out any bitterness, ill feelings and maybe un/forgiveness to a person they once called father.
Sigh. I went to work with a heavy heart this morning. Rest in peace, Uncle J.
Just now, after preparing my stuffs for some adventure tomorrow. I was perplexed to see the post of my friend on Facebook about a common friend of ours who also succumbed to death because of Covid19. As you all know, I got disconnected from using Facebook, when I got busy in noise.cash so I really didn't notice that he wasn't posting his OOTD, obsessions of his antique collections, and some crazy matters online. He was a jolly person and I got used to him posting funny stuffs in Facebook, when I checked his timeline today, he was indeed missing for like a month too. I talked to our common friend and indeed he was on his deathbed for almost a month. March 26 was supposed to be his schedule for Covid19 vaccination, but got exposed and was positive with symptoms of the coronavirus disease on the 25th of March. Isn't that ironic? Maybe if he got vaccinated beforehand, he might have that fighting chance. But anyway, since then he has been really sick, and just now I knew that he has been on dialysis for a year, should be the reason why his body was so frail battling Covid19.
Sigh. Rest in peace, my friend. Your smile and your jokes will always be remembered.
Life is so unpredictable. We can be happy now and sad tomorrow, be wealthy today and broke the next day, living the best of our lives at the moment only to die hereafter. No matter how we live it, life on earth is temporary. Now, ponder on what is eternal.
"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son." - 1 John 5:11
Maybe today is the perfect time to cherish simple moments with our family and friends, enjoy things on your bucketlist suitable for this time of pandemic, hike, bike, or be ready for some adventure. Forgive people who hurt us. Live the moment, love more and laugh hard.
"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot." - Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
This might be another sad article, but it's my only outlet to vent out what is inside my heart. I would love to write about my labor day adventures, maybe on the next article. Venting outweighs all other topics I wish to write about for now. Here me out. I will be fine tomorrow by God's grace.
Thanks for reading and please stay safe.
