Life is too short, don’t you think?

in death,worries

Few weeks ago I read in some of my senior’s fb status about a death of another senior. I didn’t know her quite well but surely I know her name.

I didn’t really pay much attention until I came to a blog, that linked to the late senior’s blog.

It was heartrending reading her thought but what made me shed my tears was her courage. I am not sure I will have her share of courage if I am at her place.

She survived breast cancer before, her thoughts can be found here [ read it, it's very moving]. Yet on 6 July she succumed to another cancer, just few months after giving birth to a baby boy.

I am sure she didn’t know me but my prayer will be with her.

Few things striked me as I read her blog, one of them is.. you will never know when you will force to leave,  life is too short.

There she was, planning her future and all and just like that her fate twisted. It could happen to anyone, it could happen to me and it could happen to you.

Cancer always makes me shiver, I came from a cancer family background and many of my family had succumbed to cancer. My last medical check up show some uncomfortable result when it comes to my cancer markers.

I talked to swirly he looked at me and said

“We should be grateful with what we have. And we should live and eat healthy”

I told him other things, I told him human should not wait. Just grab whatever you can and go for it. Life is too short to think and step back.

Do not be afraid of failure, of what people might say because at the end those things will be gone. For good.

I made a promise to myself that I will show him how much I love him everyday, I will show my emak how much she means to me and I will show my close friends that I cherish them in my life.

If I  I die one day [which of course I would] at least those people know, I, chicsinred, was happy and they had made my world happy and their existence mean so much to me.

This is morbid and might sound silly, I know. But sooner or later this is what we have to face.

But I really hope, when my time come, I will leave with no regret, I leave telling him, in this world there is someone who loves him with all her heart, with all her might and with all her soul.

And that person is me.

    Life is short, spend it wisely.
    sedey aku baca blog arwah. menanges aku.sebab kagum dengan kekuatan & ketabahan dia.
    masa kite hidup la chics, tunjuk kat orang yang kita sayang tu, that we truly love them.
    jangan la nak bercita2 tulis nota cinta @ rahsia. kat dalam tu baru la ko nak bagitau ko sayang cinta la bagai.takde maknenye dah…
    kalau sayang – cakap sayang, cakap cinta, tunjuk kan yang kite memang sayang dan cinta.

    Hi Chics, suddenly after reading your blog for so long, rasa cam nak comment. Today, a stranger made me feel like I was a piece of crap, and I thought to myself, that maybe my dreams aren't worth it. Reading your post, I change my mind. Life IS to short to think and step back. You're absolutely right. Thank you. This came just when I needed it..

    speechless sey..xtau nak kata apa..teringat arwah mak aku meninggal sbb breats cancer..a few months before she died, she told us happily that the 'ketulan2' was gone..

    she assumed she was cured sbb makan ubat CNI la kononnya..xkisahlah..tp kitaorg happy sgt..but without warning, one day she collapsed..the doctor scanned her whole body and found out that the missing ketulan2 tu actually dah spread to the brain..99%..terduduk kitaorang..she coma almost a week..and she left peacefully without any last words to us..and we didn't have a chance to say our last words to her..to le her know, we love her damn much and we will take her to cuti2 malaysia as she always want!!!! so, chics & sesiapa yang still ada mak, please appreciate them..yeah, undenialable that our husband and kids are the priority..tapi mak? mak yang lahir & besarkan kita…waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

    chics,
    what a good lesson to take away from that incident. we all need to show our gratitude and love more. at least when we leave, we won't have any regrets, right?
    btw, i cried reading her entries. she was just soo brave. Al-Fatihah.
