He was the man who chauffeured Daddy and Mummy during their wedding. He was the man who watched me grow up. He was the man who constantly spread joy and happiness to the people around him. On 23 July 2009, he was rid of his sufferings and left peacefully. He was 64. Shortly after grandma's death in December 2008, he was diagnosed with cancer. The cancerous cells were relentless. Within three months, they attacked his lungs and invaded his bloodstream. Just five months and he was no longer with us. It was heartwrenching to see him leave, but at the same time, we were relieved he was finally released from his sufferings. I then realised how deeply death emphasized the fragility of life. One moment he was there smiling and laughing his heart out. The next moment, he is lying peacefully in the coffin, still and feeble looking. As i grow older, i hear of more deaths. It signals my closeness to death. Although it is part and parcel of life, sometimes, it's too much to bear. Just Friday, i caught the infotainment episode of 'I shouldn't be alive 2'. It pained me to watch the final two days of how this 15 year old teenager struggled his way to the Colorado River in Grand Canyon. Each minute, he was inching nearer to his death. Eventually, he dropped dead from heatstroke. It struck me real hard. Every second that you and i are living is extremely important. There are so many things i have not gone about doing. Composing a song of my own, playing a perfect piano piece, volunteering my time to community work, doing my part for the family... Death may come knocking on my door anytime, as much as yours does. It's inevitable yet frightening. Cherish those around. That's what everyone always say. Sometimes, only when death strikes will people cherish the moment and very soon after, all will be forgotten and back to the routine. That's just human. Uncle Harry, you will always be remembered for your radiance and warm spirit. Rest in peace. Posted by Lynette at |
