loss and death

I never liked people dying. Who does, right? Dying is inevitable and everybody will have to die eventually. Still, that does not make the whole ordeal easy. What I hate about dying is the fact that the person is gone forever. You'll never be able to see the person, touch, hug or kiss him. Even if they remain in your thoughts, they are still gone.

Last Saturday, I was watching the weekend news and saw the breaking report about Sec. Robredo's plane going down. I knew right there and then that he was dead. It was a logical conclusion considering it was a plane that crashed in the water. The probability of him being alive was very slim. My suspicions were confirmed when his remains were found. That news made me sad because I always liked him. We weren't friends but when I saw him on TV, he was very nice. He was very intelligent and always had a happy countenance.

I really hate how people who are good die young. They could have done even greater things but death took that away. Not only will their family miss them but all the people whose lives they touched. I know everyone will get over the loss eventually. But for now, I am one with all those who are grieving for his passing.
