I am sad that I am here only responsible for the blogging in California, and finding out through Whatsapp, the happenings through my family, about Coco's passing. I am grateful that Joanne my sis- in-law (Terence's wife) installed for us a group chat. That was a very, very smart thing to do as we can communicate easily with each other and know the goings-on. It made me closer to the family wherever you are! Joanna you are the BEST! Hugs!
I wanted to take off to Singapore immediately after hearing my Coco had passed but my Pop told me not to. Hummm.....
Death is such a sudden thing, no one knows when you are going to die. My brother, Alvin had gone through a few of his friends passing, and he said this very thought provoking thing:
"Life given to you is a gift and is precious. Ask yourself how are you going to impact the people around you while you are alive and how you and how you are going to be remembered by when you die?"
The bible tells us that life here is temporary. We live to build our character within our souls. Whoever appears in our lives bad or good, how do we actually react to them? Situations will happen bad or good. They are the vehicles to build our character when we make decisions that will impact ourselves and each other.
It is how we speak to each other, being encouraging or tearing down, it is doing a good or bad deed. It is being judgmental or not, it is being forgiving or not, or bad mouthing others or just being discreet and respecting each other. It is being uplifting or tearing down. Which would you CHOOSE to be?
The actions we choose to do AFFECTS who we are as a humans.
