I have just learnt yesterday that one of my classmates had gone back to the Lord on 2nd May 2007 around 9.30 a.m after complaining chest pain. It was an acute heart attack that cost him his life. At the age of 35 years old, he is still very young, energetic, a lot of actitivites awaiting for him as I could see when surfing his blogs some 2 weeks ago..and I felt sad as I unable to comprehend as to why a person at such young stage, non-smoker, with comfortable working life in Labuan could suffer a stroke !
This is a wake up call for me and many of us especially those closer to him as we need to value our loved ones and our special time in this world. Everyday given by the Lord is a blessing indeed for each one as we live through the day. We can never now when is the time for us to go as like my classmate whom I am believe also do not have any indication over his case but we could always prepare as to live our life to the fullest, to live according to our Lord's will, loving one another among our family, support and help the less fortunate and the needy or whatever things we wish to do at will.
This reminds me of;
Do not wait for the time as you will never know when is the last time, go for it and decide the best to shower your love and commitment. Do not keep the best for the last, but give at every opportunity the best you can to deliver the highest statisfaction.
Frankie, my classmate, thank you for your friendship, the time that we have spent together during our school times, a memorable for me.
As today is your funeral, I will lift up my daily prayer to our Lord Jesus & Mother Mary for the repose of your soul, may the perpetual light shine upon you and may you rest in peace. Amen.
