passing on...

...a good fren's dad just passed away a couple of days back from cancer....that makes it 4 dads in the last year that i know of who have gone that way...is it really so prevalent?? it does seem so, doesn't it?

going to wakes always makes me feel very mortal and vulnerable...added to this is the fact that i mostly am at a loss for words to comfort the grieving...very much like a block of wood...perhaps i just do not like being reminded of the frailty of this mortal body...who does, right?

i used to be afraid of dying...not anymore though...i think of it as a stage of bringing me closer to seeing my God...what i am afraid of is dying at an unopportune time without doing and experiencing the things that i long to...and leaving my loved ones...

*sigh* morbid siah... :S
