Yesterday, I went for my member's grandfather's furneral.
It was my 1st time attending a Christian Funeral.
My member was feeling emotional for the last few days.
All he said even without tears was, "when he was alive, I never really appreciated him, now that he was gone, it too late."
And the only thing that I could say was, "he passed away peacefully, with no other diseases, and he is with God."
For my member was partly sad as the grandfather was a backslided yet at his last days, my member was there praying, and reading the bible to him. Even during his comatose state, he was there with his grandfather.
And the grandfather passed away in the comatose state, just like the grandfather wished so. No pain, no suffering, just peacefully.
As we walked around the cofin to see the grandfather. He was smiling, not a big one though but can see, he leave in peace.
I always said to myself, I rather leave the earth in peace, than suffer in diseases.
And through this, I learned to treasure people even much more.
Never wait till someone leave your life than learn to appreciate.
Appreciate them when they are beside you and with you.
Love them, be grateful for them and be happy that they are with you.
