pAsSaGe Of LiFe..

Well this post's a bit overdue.. intended for last week act but it slipped my mind.. was at dad's company juz now and the notion popped up again..

Attended a funeral a week ago.. Was my dad's cousin.. Ain't really close to tt side of the family, so didn't really recognise him.. Not tt i've ever met him.. But it goes to show how extensive one's family can be, till the point tt the younger generation may nvr get to see the older generation at all during their lifespan, maybe except at their deathbeds.. it's kinda sad act, to know tt u have so many relatives act, but u'll prob spill ur blood for the guy next door, coz u happen to see him everyday, n not ur relative who is as unfamiliar to u as any other guy on the streets..

Wat's overwhelming is the fact tt everyone got to see each other finally during someone's funeral, after prob 10 to 20 years of living their own lives.. To think tt they used to live beside each other when they were still young.. Played together, studied together, and prob had dreamt of growing up and staying together.. But the reality of the world kicks in, one by one they leave the neighbourhood for greener pastures, to gather again on such occasion.. Which leads me to this thought..

At every point of life we'll gather for significant occasions.. Now's prob the birthday celebration of us entering adulthood.. Another ten years or so we'll be seeing each other during weddings.. And a few more years the celebration of a baby's first month.. But after tt? Will be straight to the funerals when we'll once again meet, n relive the good old days? I definitely hope not..

So, my frens, do cherish the friendships u have now, no matter how deep of shallow it is, coz there's juz so many years in one's lifespan..
