What happened? As I asked about the cause of her death, he told me she had sore throat, that she couldn't swallow her saliva well (perhaps it resulted into other complications, I can't say), she had also taken some medication to treat the ailment, he also narrated how he was with the wife in the middle of the night and she was breathing heavily, he never knew her soul was departing, he even told her to re-adjust from her sleeping position as he went to the toilet to urinate, only for him to come back and saw that saliva was coming out from her mouth as she gave up the ghost.
Goose pimples covered every part of my body like someone who had just taken a cold shower. This was someone I saw few weeks back and you are telling me she's no more, I felt so sad inside of me because this is a family that have gone through a lot and through the thick and the thin they are still together, the husband continued to stressed how the wife has been a source of encouragement for him and the family, in some hopeless situation she always gave him hope, how she took proper care of their three children whom she had left behind, even the survival of the family in this economic situation have been with the support of his wife.
Now she's no more, I'm not a member of their family, I'm not even anyway near their blood line, but touch me so deep as I'm been reminded how short this life is, we had had some misunderstanding few weeks back, I was furious at first but I calmed down and it didn't matter who was right or wrong, we were able to reconcile and move on.
I'm saying all of these because life is too short, forgive as fast as you can, don't hold grudge with anyone, it's amazing how everything will fade away if one party is no more. Focus on your assignment here on earth, help more people as far as your strength can carry, no time, life is too short. If we can take a look back at the last decade of our lives it will be just like a flash, and so will be the next decade and the next and the next. Whatever you have to do, do it quick because life is too short.
I was in church today and during the service, the Pastor still stressed that we should always be grateful to God because not everyone that goes to bed at night make it to the break of the dawn. Always be grateful to God for life and let more souls be drawn into his kingdom through you because LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
