Each day there is always something happened that reminds us how fragile and short life is. Nothing is permanent. Your scrubs uniforms can get worn, married couple can get divorce, happy family can be torn apart, and so on.
Today is one of those day. I saw a news, a husband and wife at their 30s were shot to dead by robbers right in front of their kids and babysitter. Happened recently, back in my hometown. Very heart-breaking and sad.
Imagine the toddlers (said to be 3 and 5 years old), I don’t know if they will have this trauma or memory of this incident. It’s also very hard to imagine that they once have a parent who love and care of them, and now… suddenly gone.
I can’t imagine if I were in their shoes. No more parent sending them to school at their first day. No more mother-daughter’s talk. No parent to attend graduation’s day, wedding day, and so on.
I told myself to start living for the present, not just catching the future and end up regret. We can plan but we seriously have no idea and can’t predict what may happen tomorrow. Things like tsunami, earthquake, robbery, they don’t tell you when they are going to come.
Cherish your life.
