Rebirth
It’s March 15 again. Was it only a year ago when I wrote in my blog… “celebrating life?” It’s my 4th “death anniversary” today. I decided to make it sound more positive… today is my rebirth. How fortunate for me to have two birthdays.
I am beginning to understand why I am still here alive, why God did not take me four years ago today. Of course, there are days when I wished He did.
Memories of my near death experience made me value LIFE. This year, we lost a batchmate from high school to cancer. She has a husband and two young kids. So much to live for. Made me think that we can not control our lives. God does … He decides for everything.
During her wake and burial, my thoughts were about — “what if it was me in her place?” Would my family and friends miss me? How would they feel? It made me cry harder. Because I saw how well loved she was by her husband, kids, parents and siblings.
It also woke me up - to be conscious of what I eat (but not successful), to thank each day that I am still here. Made me value my love ones more.
Aren’t you happy, we’re alive??
