Well. I just got news from my mom about my cousin. (whom I rather refer to as my uncle since he's more than trice my age) It turns out that he's fast approaching the end of his line. Yeah and my mom's kinda feeling down about it.
Life's really short isn't it? Honestly, I've never really known my "uncle" very well. I always thought he was a jolly, fun and nice guy, but I didn't get to know him well. What I do know is that he's a very loving husband who loves his wife dearly. That is a really rare trait in today's world, where marriages come and go and people treat it so lightly. For that, I respect him.
I just want to sort of "dedicate" this post to him. Although this is going to be the second death in my mom's side of the family, I have sort of learnt to accept it. I guess I don't really feel that sad because I wasn't that close to them. Nevertheless...
Here's the lyrics to the song "One Sweet Day" B y Mariah Carey and Boys II Men.
I think the lyrics speak for themselves. Even though this song is about a past lover who has died.
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive
[Chorus:]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Darling I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared
[Chorus]
Although the sun will never shine the same again
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray
[Chorus]
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
