5 months later

My last entry here was 5 months ago.  Today is November 1, holiday as usual, to remember our loved ones who passed away.  Who would have thought 5 months ago that this day will be a memorable date for all of us in the family? Who would have thought that in the span of five months, lots of things can happen that will surely change one’s life?  In the span of 5 months, major things happen in my life:

a. My dad passed away

b. I went into gall bladder surgery

c. My sister is due to go to Japan for one year

These things only prove one thing — nothing is permanent in this world, change is inevitable.  As much as we want to hold on to things, make our grips tight, we cannot really guarantee that we can let things stay the same as long as we could.  Because we just couldn’t.  I learned that life does not end in death.  Life goes beyond this life in this world. And there is actually something better than life…and that is love.  Life may be brief but LOVE is everlasting.  Life has an end but Love is eternal.  I guess that is why God teaches us to value love more than life.  Life has no meaning if we just live it, we have to love to make a meaning out of life.  Nice words I know, enriching, but really too hard to keep.  But still, it’s something we can all think about and consider.  Anyway, as I ‘ve said, change in inevitable, so would you invest in something that is brief or something which is eternal?

Go figure!

God bless
