Death-Related Posts

Flashback Nov. 2, 2005, I had a firsthand experience on what was death like. Death took my father away, a part of me died as well. I was in denial because I never knew the word death before that, I know that people will die eventually but not with my father at that time, he is young, in his early 50's, he is sick but I always put it in my head that he'll be okey and that he'll reach to be 80 or perhaps more, we will still share moments together. That's what stuck in my head, those perceptions broke down into pieces when I saw him lifeless in the morgue wrapped with a white blanket, then it occurred to me -->DEATH IS INEVITABLE. As morbid as it sounds, we will all die and no one can escape death,not unless you're a fictional character in Anne Rice's vampire novels. Life-->death, two unavoidable contradictions that's been there for ages, truth that we need to learn to live up to. As what I've read before, in recognizing that death exists, we might try to change the way we live and learn to detach ourselves from things that are temporary(i.e possessions) and learn to value more on things that will continue to live on even after we depart and that is the love of the people who matters most to us like our family and friends, good reputation and a good legacy that you might leave behind. My father died but my love for him along with my family who he leaves behind will always be in our hearts and will bring it to eternity. He may not be a perfect person, but for me he's the best father. And for your 7th death anniversary papa, I'm sending you all my love from way down here, you'll always have our love.
