Life is Like a Flower.

Matthew Loo (right) and I, 12 years ago.


Life is a short journey, whether it is a day, a hundred days or a hundred years, it is indeed brief, but also a sure reality that our lives on earth will come to an end one day. No matter how much you want to accomplish, or you want to do, or have left to try out, earthly living is finite and can come to an end as swiftly and surely as a flower, here today and gone tomorrow.


Two weeks ago, with a brief access to internet, I was informed that a friend that I've known since 12 years ago was in ICU in the hospital. I haven't been as close with him in recent years, but the news was quite unexpected and he was in my prayers and thoughts.


It is with great sadness that upon my return to Canada, I was greeted with the news of his sudden passing, at the age of nineteen. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends during this time.


But he is now with my Father, free of suffering in this sinful world. One day, I will see him again.
