Awoken

I was going through my daily dose of 7 hours of sleep when I got interrupted by my house phone which kept ringing. I totally ignored the calls to my house and upon the third call I finally woke up but I didn't answer the call immediately, I lay on my bed and switched on my handphone. I wasn't expecting what I saw in the messages and I immediately knew who had been calling since God-knows-when and rushed to phone to call him back.

All he could mutter was, "Ya, he called me telling me about it. Gastric he says. *sigh* So I see you there at 3pm."

It felt surreal. Everything in life at that particular moment seemed unimportant. All those minor issues don't matter anymore. Conflicts and misunderstandings we once had erased within an instance. The people in life rose up to be of utmost importance all of a sudden. You just won't know what fate has in store for you. You won't know when you will be called back to be with Him. You just won't know.

It awoken my senses quite a bit and tomorrow brings about a whole new meaning to the word, celebration. Celebrating it with loved ones is all that matters knowing they are well alive and strong by your side. It is supposed to be a happy and joyous ocassion, but to one soul, its all about coping and looking ahead in life. This one soul has been my longest running friend to date for 15 years and it will duly remain that way.

Tonnes of responsibilities have just plummeted from the sky on your dear shoulders. Fret not, your family and friends are always here to do your bidding whenever you need them. Have faith. Believe.

May God bless his soul and may he rest in peace.
Amin.
