it comes home to me each time – how we shouldn’t wait to show love. what if you planned something only to find that the person is no more? yeah…NO MORE. irrevocably gone. with no chance of ever coming back. makes you cry, doesn’t it?
i heard today about the death of a friend’s 8 year old – asthmatic attack gone wrong.
some months back i heard about a the death of a 2 year old playing in the garden – heart attack
years ago my friend’s nephew died of electrocution – BESCOM negligence – live wire.
friend died – scooter accident – spot on – on his birthday
friend died – third degree burns – didn’t realize clothes in flames until the heat struck
don’t argue over petty stuff – is what i have learned. don’t accuse anyone for trivial stuff. don’t yell at people who are not so well or older. don’t hurt people if you can help it.
the heart aches, especially if you realize later you were hasty – even more so if you cant do anything about it – and the person is gone. why regret when you can help it?
Cheers!

This was such a timely post, Vidya! Thanks so much for putting it up. My best friend just learned about a recurrance of cancer, and, well, your blog helped me think it through a bit. Thanks.
