Saying goodbye

We have never been taught how to say goodbye.  But I have been doing a lot of that lately.

With family and friends from oversea for our big day, I have to send them away one by one.  Goodbye to good friends and family always happen very sudden.  It is like stopping in mid sentence.

You are not sure where to start again, so you just nod, wave, and say your goodbyes.  Looking at their faces, you sudden realize that they came for you, but there is very little you can do to have them around forever.

Same with saying goodbye to my youth, my single life.  It just happened, no preparation, no warnings...

Life is unpredictable

I have met Kevin a few times, but I don't know Kevin well.  He was a chiropractor, kind of quiet, reserve, but very helpful.  When I got in a car accident, he msg ms. cake regarding things I should  be careful with.  He was one of the few good men.

He was married last year, being 3 years young than me.  It was a shock to learn that he had suffered a heart attack while napping last Sunday and passed away.

The news spread fast, and condolences streams in on his Facebook account.  I learnt that he was a baseball player on weekends, a very good shortstop, and obviously loved by many.

It sucks that I got to know him better after he passed away.

Kevin, I wish I had known you better when you were around.  But your story told me a good lesson.  Enjoy life and be good to people around you...
