be thankful for the sunrise

    

how big of a mark have i left with people? if and when i leave this world, how much am i going to be missed? melancholy questions from a melancholy weekend. my friend of 13 years lost her papa last week from cancer. and right when i stepped into the room of his wake, i was deeply touched by how many flowers and visitors there were. he was a good man who lived his life serving people. he never asked God to console him in his weakest days but instead continued to ask God to console those around him. he will surely be missed. but he will live on in the hearts of those who love him.

 

 i say, let's start with gratitude. be thankful that we still have a chance. be thankful that we can go on and touch people's lives. be thankful that we can put smiles on people's faces. be thankful for the sunrise as it is a beginning of another opportunity.
