Dear Friends

¿Hola a todos cómo están? Feliz domingo 😃
(I am learning Spanish language just for fun hehehe)

"When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure."
"The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained"
.......
That quotes have been echoed with me almost everyday, since I read it.
We did not know our lives were going to end someday, how would that change the way we live? Would we spend more time living in the moment, less worried about the future and getting things done in time? Or would we be more reckless? Hurmm... I've asked myself, time and again, what will I gonna do?
This is not the story I planned to write for this beautiful Sunday everning. But when you're scrolling through your feed and find out on Facebook that someone you knew or loved has passed on. I've been surprised. It is a painful feeling as I have ever known. That punch to your heart which make it surge so hard that you fear it might stop. This month I've been surprised twice when i discover that death has taken someone I knew. 😢😢😢

I knew all living things — including bugs and fish and people — die. It's difficult, even for grownups, to understand why this must happen. It may be the hardest thing of all to understand. The best we can do is accept death as a fact of life. It happens, and we can't do anything to change that.

Lots of people live well into their 70s or 80s, and some live even longer. Slowly, though, over the course of many years, the human body wears out. When this happens, we say this person died of & old age.

Sometimes younger people die and sometimes a person gets very sick. If a very sick person dies, you may hear the adults around you say that person is better off now and no longer suffering.

Other times people die suddenly, like in an accident. This may be the hardest kind of death for families and friends to deal with because it happens so fast. There is no time for them to get used to the idea of losing someone they love.

When someone we love dies, it hurts us. We feel sad that the person will no longer be around to talk to or to have fun with. That absence leaves a big hole in our lives. Maybe you had a pet that died. Remember the first few times you walked into the house after your dog or cat was gone? It was strange not to have your pet there. Maybe you cried — that's OK. We need to mourn, or grieve, over losing people and animals and other things we love.

But just like when you skin your knee peeling of, the first, intense pain will go away after a while. It takes time for your knee to heal, but it hurts less and less each day. It's the same when somebody dies. That doesn't mean we forget or stop missing people who died. After a while, we can go back to our lives, still loving them and remembering them always.

Remembering people we love who have died is one way to keep them a part of us. Pictures help us do this. Looking at a photo album can help us remember fun times we had together. Lots of families bury the bodies of loved ones in a cemetery. Then they can go and visit someone's grave. It's not that they think of the dead person as really being there, but it is a special place to go and think about how much that person meant to them.

When someone dies, you may start to wonder if the other people in your life will also die soon. You may ask yourself, "Will my mom or dad die?" or "Will I die?" If I'm going to die someday, what should I do now? - LIVE!

There are many things about death we do not know and may never know. We do know that it will happen, someday, to all of us. But you should not worry or wonder about it for very long. There are too many wonderful things to experience in the many, many years ahead. ✌✌✌
