A Precious Lesson Learnt

Mary passed away recently. Sad cos a good friend has left us, however, we find comfort that she's in the hands of our Heavenly Father.

So much thoughts went through my mind these few days while helping out for her funeral wake. Thoughts of how Mary looks like before she was diagnosed of stomach cancer, how we last gathered for a celebation before all these happen, how she was so full of faith and even remembered by birthday, how she say she miss me and ask me to come visit her before her 2nd intense chemo. All things have pass....leaving only memories of her.

Mary had fought a good fight and finish her race. Learnt from her sister that we must know that when we face death, we take comfort that Mary in up there waiting to receive us. It's always harder for the 1st among you to go but God chose Mary, maybe becos He knows that Mary is the strong one among us.

Thank God that Steven was around when I'm facing this. Even though, he is busy with his F1, he still finds time to make sure I'm ok. Initially, I didn't want to share with him about this during his F1 but still chose to share. Not that I'm afraid he will be angry with me for not sharing with him but in a way, I want to learn to share my thoughts freely towards him. If he's just a friend that I don't want to trouble, then what's makes him special as my boyfriend? He's more than just a friend but a person that I want to hold close. Thank you, Steven! Thank You, Jesus for Your Strength!

Life is short. Treasure what you have, every moment before it's gone......
