A Sudden Goodbye

We were struck by the news last Friday that one of the teachers and a friend had died from being electrocuted. This news saddens and pains all of the teachers in our town.

Let's call him Sir Emil. Sir Emil was known for being cheerful, sweet, gentlemanly, and kind. He can brighten someone's day by simply making them laugh. He is an excellent teacher to his students.

The last year 2022, he married and had a child. Anaya Graisen, his baby girl, was only six months old. We are deeply sorry not only for ourselves as friends and colleagues but also for his family.

So when we got to visit him during his night vigil, the tears kept flowing, and it felt like something in our hearts made us feel so helpless.

I suppose that's what life is like unpredictable and uncontrollable.

And here are my current realizations:

The most painful goodbyes are sudden ones.

Everything is lovely, and then, suddenly, and sometimes unexpectedly, someone abandons you. It's terrifying to leave the safety and security of what you know behind and venture into the unknown. It's also unfortunate because you'll be leaving some people behind. It can happen in various unexpected ways or forms when it comes to saying goodbye. When a loved one dies, the heart aches for days, months, years, or even a lifetime.

Goodbyes are difficult because they mark the end of one story and the start of another.

Life is far too brief.

Every person on the planet is living on borrowed time. We never know when our last days will be, so we must all begin living as if there will be no tomorrow. We must start doing things that scare us, things we enjoy, trying new things, and doing anything because life is too short for "what ifs."

Our clocks are ticking, so we need to get out there and live like there is no tomorrow, as if today was our last day on earth, so make the most of the moments in your life.

Life is too short to be upset, and you won't get this life again; you won't get the same time again, so enjoy each day and make every day count; spend time with your loved ones, spend time with someone who makes you happy, spend time with yourself and love yourself.

These were the things that made me realize what had happened. I understand how difficult it is, but I am praying for the healing of all hearts for their loss.

Good evening everyone! I hope everyone is okay. Let's spread love and be loved! God bless us all.
