If Life is So Short

What happened over the past week really gets me thinking. Life is short. Elf's dad passed away Sunday afternoon (peace be with him) of heart failure, quite unexpected. Of course I feel for him, it hasn't been easy.

And it could have so easily have been me instead. What if it was my dad? And not Elf's? How would I have handled it? I'm the eldest too. What would become of my brother and sister? And my mom? I haven't completed my studies yet and cannot just up roots from USM to get a job to support my family. And mom couldn't possibly do all the work.

Things like this just happened. And if it happens to me, I'll just do what someone wise told me to, "be strong". Easier said then done.
