A bright future gone in a sudden

Well, this is not regarding about my future, is just that something happened so suddenly that my parents can’t really accept it.

Everyday, road accidents happens. Whenever we flick through the newspapers, we will definitely come across with this type of news. Whenever we read it, we seldom have any feeling besides a little bit of sadness towards the deceased families. Accident is something so normal that happening in our lives making me feels like this is nothing worthwhile to be shock of or something.

However, when it really happens to someone around us, we then only can feel the heat…

A son of my dad’s 10 years old buddy, met an accident yesterday morning. He is just 17 years plus and approximately 1 month younger than me. He just get his P license and he just came back from a trip to Cameron Highland with his family in the month of beautiful May. My parents just saw him last month, and now “poof” he is gone.

When my dad received this news, he was heartbroken. “A 18 years old teenager, with such bright future just gone in a day. He is the hope of his family (fyi, he is the eldest son in the family with only one sibling, just like me). I remember just saw him last month and now he suddenly disappear. I can feel the pain although we are not that close. What about his family members who saw him a minute ago and never know it was the last time they see him? My goodness! A young man with bright future just gone like that…”

Silent for a minute. For this young man.

May him lively happily in his world and protect his family.

God bless them~
