Have u ever thought?
Have you ever thought about when the time has come for your loved ones? Yesterday, I was reading about an article written by Xandria Ooi. She was talking about how she refuses to take her parents seriously on the topic of death. She is afraid to face the reality of her loved ones passing.

Let’s face it…Death is a reality. It happens to everyone, irregardless of race and color; it can happen anytime and anywhere. I dread just thinking about it. People tend to take their loved ones for granted nowadays, thinking that they will forever be by your side.

I am not afraid of my passing, but rather the passing of my loved ones. Each time, I hear the topic being brought up by my mom, I close my ears and mind and simply refuse to listen to what she has to say. My parents being Buddhist, have a clear mind of what they want – for their passing. They want to have cremation –simple and clean. They also want their ashes to be spread across the ocean and over the hills. Fancy, huh? My mom always says when she goes, how are we to take care of ourselves (my sis and I).

Sometimes, I think to myself, what will happen if I die? The first thought is how will my loved ones take it? Who is going to take care of my parents? I never thought for one moment whether I was going to end up in hell or heaven. The only thing I think about was my loved ones.

I remembered there was one time, I was nearly hit by a speeding car. When the car was coming towards me, I didn’t scream. I was just too shock and stared…the only thing I heard was my mom calling me behind me. Luckily, I was pushed away by a force. This special force of energy saved my life. There was no one at my side at the time, the only thing I felt was a gust of wind that pushed me off-balance and I fell backwards and landed at the side of the road. When I got up, my mom gave me a hell of a scolding. She was terrified. I think I was saved by my guardian angel.

I had several other encounters like the one above, I came away unhurt. Thank goodness…for all my guardian angels help. Sometimes, this encounters teach me to treasure my loved one more. I don't want to look back one day and regret for taking my loved ones for granted.

Have you been taking your loved ones for granted?
