The Seventh Month

Death. Silent as can be. 

The human body is very resilient, yet fragile at the same time. One person in history survived a 160ft fall. Don't know how much 160ft is? Imagine falling from the 16th floor of a building and not die, that is how much impact a human body can withstand. Physically, that is. However, it is not the big things that kill you easily. It is the small things. Small evil things like bacterias that cause fatal infections. 

I just got the news about this friend whom passed away earlier. I knew her back in Form 1 and the most outstanding impression she gave me about herself is that I literally have never seen her get angry. She's a forever smiling type of girl, forever cheerful, forever full of life - until she was robbed of her future. I don't really know the exact circumstances surrounding her death but it is definitely very sudden, pretty much like the guy in my previous two posts. But why her? She's young and has the whole world ahead of her. Not even 22 yet. Not even close to being 22. There are still so many places she has yet to explore. There are still so many friends she has yet to make. There are still so many memories she has yet to create. So many. 

Death is sudden. Death comes without warning. Death is swift. Death does not discriminate. 

Rest in peace, young lady. I'm sure your bright smile from heaven illuminates everyone here on earth. You will be dearly missed.
