Losing someone happens in a blink of an eye.
We can never be prepared, and we have to hold onto happy memories we have shared to those who have passed. It is then that memories turn to treasures. This is how what keeps them alive in our hearts and our minds.
Death reminds us that life is so precious, and that we have to be thankful of every minute, and we that we should enjoy every day consciously and to its fullest.
To AF, my heartfelt condolences.
