Don't Take For Granted

An unfortunate incident happened in the family yesterday. An aunt went to India and met an accident. We lost her there.
.
I remember my aunt as a loving and caring lady. We seldom met as she lived in KL. But each time meeting her was a wonderful experience. She was a passionate person. So lively and chatty. But now she is gone.
.
This is how unpredictable life can be. You never know that the goodbye you said this time would mean goodbye forever. It never crossed you mind that the chat you had this time would be the last word you heard from someone in your life. Last moment you were sharing a hearty laugh together and the next moment, you were left with coldness and tears in your heart.
.
People like us, we always think people and things around us are meant to be with us. In times, we failed to appreciate. Instead, we tend to take for granted. We like to say "never mind, i will do it tomorrow."; we say "what's the rush? we will see how it goes tomorrow."; or we would say "aiya..next time la.." etc. etc. etc.
.
But have it ever occurred to you that there might not be next time? That tomorrow you were saying might never come? Every precious in you life might not be there forever. You just never know.
.
Please. Don't take for granted. If there is anything you want to do, don't wait. If you really cared for anything or anyone, don't wait anymore. Don't wait until something unfortunate happened then only regret your hesitation or procrastination. Treasure everyone. And appreciate every little thing in life.
.
May all of us are showered with goodness and blessings at all times.
.
R.I.P. aunt. We will miss you.
