When someone very close to us, someone we love,someone we consider a family is taken by an illness

and is forever gone…

We look back to old memories,

recollect the happy times we spent together,

recall how healthy and happy that person was back then.

Those memories make us smile and as well make us cry.
We somehow feel regret for the words being unsaid.

For missing the opportunity to say we care, to say ‘I love you’. And most of all, we contemplate.

 Why?

Why so soon?

Why is life so unfair?

But, in life, not all questions are answered.

There’s nothing we can do but gather the pieces of our broken selves and continue to face the uncertainties of life.
