CELEBRATING.
I have been thinking, what is more to life? Essence of living when we all know the latter is laying six feet under the ground or in vase by the living room just as ash. What makes me think of death this passionately? Have you ever pictured your own burial date? weird right, but it is a serious conversation that we all find hard to talk about . Have you ever thought about the eight to ten people that will be carrying your coffin to the abyss, would the procession be crying out of love or would they be at relief that you left?
Today marks six years. It has been a journey that so far I am proud of every member of my family. You know the way you are driving on the highway, laughing at each others jokes, and it is like everyone has their own type of jokes that they have specialized in. Rather in the house making stories and you all are happy for just being what you are as a unit. I mean this one time there was silence in the house during dinner when we expected the joke, but it never came. When making conversations in a setting there is always the expected joke at a certain point by a person gifted in such particular jokes. Well this time, we waited for the joke but it never came. across the the dining table I would see mama's eyes watery.
Damn, mum realized that it was that point that his son wouldn't tell the joke again, his seat was empty, not that he was late for dinner but he would never attend another family dinner on earth. It struck each and everyone of us that that was it, Eldest bro, killed the silence by telling the joke but it never came out as it would have been if it was told by him.
So, after I learned that in this life we come and we go. No one knows when they would breathe their last. Lets embrace the moment, enjoy the piece of pie that is on the plate, maybe today it lacks salt, maybe today it was half baked and makes your stomach bloat or brings you pain. Find the sweet spot in it and enjoy, the little things make you happy. Tomorrow is never guaranteed.
This sums up my total of five children of our parents. Incase you missed it get back to Rewind.
Continue resting in power.
Love folks,
TUSHEE
