Today I got to know that someone who is of my age group, died yesterday. I never knew her personally. For that matter, I have never met her. But I have thought about her and had prayed for her well being. Not just me, all of us did. But I guess her time was up.
No one really saw it coming, everyone was hell bent on her speedy recovery. But sometimes what we get is different from what we want. I don't know. Maybe I would like to say God has bigger plans for her. Or maybe I would like to say she found peace. Or maybe it was fated. Whatever it is, the point is she isn't here anymore. I don't know whether she accomplished whatever she wanted to do with her life, whether she lived it to the fullest at least for a day. Have I ever done that? Have I ever gone to bed thinking, "Yes, today my life feels fulfilling. Today I am completely rid of regrets and worries. Today I am happy with the way things are. Not just contented but truly happy." Have I ever heard myself say that? There have been days when I have been happier than other days..but has there ever been a day when I felt if I died now, I would die without regrets and worries. Honestly,I can't remember.
Dear S, thank you for pressing the pause button in my life today. You made me pause and wonder and for that I am grateful. There was a time when I relished my life. But lifestyle and situation made it such that I stopped being grateful for the smallest of things. Thanks for reminding me about them today. Where ever you are, may you be blessed with love and affection.
Love,
Me.
