TIME’S UP
Posted by AC on Wednesday Jan 27, 2010 Under Ms. CongenialityI went to Heritage the other night. Our friend passed away last weekend due to heart attack caused by some complications in her previous stomach operation (I know, stomach has nothing to do with the heart, I just can’t explain how it affected her heart).
Inside the crematory are some rooms where relatives/friends can take a rest.. there we found her boyfriend (our friend as well) weeping. When I saw him I gave him a consoling hug, though I knew that nobody/nothing can cheer him up. Nothing can bring back his beloved. He was silently crying and saying ‘”It hasn’t sunk in yet.”, “I can’t believe she’s gone already.”, “She left me.”, “I will leave for the States to forget.”, etc. etc.
I can still remember his face when we were talking about his ladylove last Friday during their gig. He was cheerfully sharing their story while his eyes were full of love. And yes, he looked uber happy. It was the first time that he uncovered his soft side, his cheesiness. I felt sorry that it might be the first and last time that we would talk about the matters of the heart. It is heartbreaking, too, everytime I imagine his face full of tears. How can a love so pure end so soon?
That made me realize I should deviate from the “rule” of not giving your all when it comes to loving. Life is so short.. who knows what’s gonna happen next?
Cherish every moment with your loved ones. Do not afraid to love and take risks. After all, what’s the point of loving when you won’t give your all?
Anyway, just my two cents worth.

May you rest in peace, Tweetums. You will be missed.

Thank you, friends.
Wends, I think it’s possible naman. What I meant (or probably even Leia) about “giving your all” is that we should not deprive ourselves of treating the person right, giving him what he deserves/needs, and supporting him all the way.
Just an example, think about a mother’s love.. diba a mother knows no boundary in loving her child.. but does she lose herself? Nope. Coz there’s still a room for loving herself as well.

My condolences AC…
And it is encouraging to read that your realizations on love soared higher than your grief…
And I say Amen… Love is not love when it is holding back…
