when someone you know died..

selasa 28/10 (1:09 am)

every once in a while what my friend said to me couple years back then always cross my mind without permission.

he said that death was a wake up call for the living..

i never put much of a thought of what he said but nearly the end of june this year i got a text with a message that one of my uni friends died because of cancer.

even though i had first known her since elementary school.. we had never played together and our circle of friends had a different vibes that we only knew each other but never had been close friends.

we went to same school again in junior high then went separate ways in senior high only to meet again in university but again we were more like acquintances than friends..

since the first time i knew her i guess my impression was still the same. she was a popular girl, i bet everyone who went to the same school knew who she was. tall, white and slender, something you just couldn't miss out.

put in mind that back then in my childhood time, girls weren't as tall as kids these days so if you were above 160 cm could be considered as tall.

the news of her death was like a thunder in a broad daylight.. you hadn't expected it to come.

still young. only a month earlier she celebrated her 36th birthday and no one expected it to be her last.

people were born and died everyday. you can read the obituaries on newspaper.. but sometimes when you don't know the person.. what you read might only be just an information that soon you'd forget.

but when you knew the person who died.. somehow like it or not.. her being passed away made you kinda reflected your own life.

cause one day, only God knows for sure when, we all will have to walk that road, too..

one of the question remains.. have we lived a life that prepare us to live the eternal life after we die?

so long, fj.. people will always remember you as a kind friendly girl with nice smiles, upbeat and warm personalities..
