Silence

I went to my colleague's wake during lunch time. It was so quiet at the chappell and I was so sad to see my colleague, who once a jovial and talkative man, lying quietly and silently there.

We were talking about his past and many of us still cannot accept the fact that this friend of ours is gone now. Through conversation with his wife, we were glad that he did not suffer much and left peacefully.

One of my colleague who is very close to him is feeling sad and has no mood to work. They used to run about in the office and many of us still remember the images of them running and hitting each other.

Life is short. Cherish the time we have and enjoy life to the fullest. This is what I am telling myself now.
