A cousin of mine, 7 years younger than me, who was in prime health died suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday. Though I don't know for sure if he had any undetected health issues but there were no visible signs of it. I feel a great loss losing such a gentle younger brother. The pain his wife and parents are going through can't be described in words. The person they invested in and cared for so long, was gone in no time.
If this can happen to him, it can happen to anybody. When death strikes, one will not have time to say goodbye to even his loved ones. Such is shortness of life. But when we are alive, we behave like we are going to be here forever and make very long term plans but what is in store for us we are not sure. Life poses such an uncertainty too. What we need to realize is, life may not give us any options when it is time to end our story. But when there are options, we can choose wisely and live life as we aspired to rather than postponing it for another day.
I pray to God to bless my cousin so that his soul rests in peace. And also I pray to God bless us to realize what is important to us in our lives before the shortness of life ends it.
