The Passing ~


When a terminal illness hits someone close to you, a friend or family, the overwhelming feeling of saddness and grieve rushes up to our sense like a high fever. Its unpredictable and sudden, making it us hard to actually anticipate on its forthcoming. Their last words, so powerful and moving, some how always touched everyone's heart. Providing the living a chance to cherish their lives and look forward to the future.

Parting with your love one, the emptiness and loneliness that you'll experience is like a grueling race to reality. A feeling of seclusion to your own solitude, trying to gather sweet memories, magical moments and that unconditional love, being contributed to the relationship. This phrase of mixed feelings, blaming yourself on the stuff you should've done instead of those that you shouldn't. A question of whys kept filling in, why this, why that, trying to fill that empty slot in your heart. Ultimately, we just didn't wanna let him go.

The quote - "Nothing is forever", made us think that that's the fact and we all take ourselves for granted sometimes. We try to narrow down the fights, arguement, hatred, but in situations where the feeling of dislike and anger hits us like a moving truck that we'd forgotten all about our love. Looking at the big picture didn't even come into our mind then. However, in the passing of this person, we tend to listen to our hearts, more than our minds. The guilt in us, like a public denunciation on your mistakes, makes us realized that its too late for anything now. Life still has to go on, and soon he'll be the past for you to remember of.
