Death is certain, but the time of its coming is uncertain

"A ship captain, having a good life! Peacefully driving his Mitsubishi Adventure and on his way he met death."

The most hurting experience in life! Who could have thought a family who just kissed and waved goodbye to their father, with smile... with hope that he will return safe and sound and then all of a sudden received this "death news".

This news sadden me so much that I even cried when I read this. My greatest fear in life is losing a love one. And I admit even if I always pray, I can't imagine my self if this will happen to my family.

I have lots of regrets in life - only If I have done this and that...lots of regrets. Especially when I lost my mother--- when most of my time spent in working and have spent less in visiting her while in wheelchair. Spending time with her on her last days wasn't my priority. And watching her on her last breath was the most painful thing I ever have.

I shouted as if no one is watching me....feels like I was alone and no one else. But its too late! She is gone and I, was left in a corner shading tears of no return.

Death is powerfully enlightening but you don't have to wait for someone to die to change the way you live

So I told my self, while my father is still alive, I have to spent time with him. I don't want to suffer those feelings any more.

Spending time with him every summer.

Each day I have to find an opportunity to create a life with purpose and meaning. Commit to being fully alive and expressing my highest self with my love ones...

Making my "papa" happy in his last years.

Sincerely,
