My uncle just pass away a couple of weeks ago. The whole family was devastated by their loss. Watching my cousins and aunties feeling terribly sad. I know the feeling that they felt as me myself lost my mother during my final semester in college.
I have a late reaction to respond to these kinds of things. I didn't shed a tear during her passing. I'm too busy helping around the house during her funeral and did not have the time to read the prayers for her. I find myself back to college after 2 days busy studying until my friends called me crazy and my lecturers advised me to take take a week off and back to class when I feel ready. It's funny in a way when remembering it today.
It's not that I'm a cold-hearted person or selfish. But to me, I'm happy that people finally reached their time and have a big long rest from the busy world that we're in. No more suffering with the illness or the life that they suffered. I like the concept that death or the dead should be celebrated with joy. Just like the Mexicans celebrate the Day of The Dead - Dia de Muertos. Full of joy and colours.
It is my final request as well for my friends and family. Please do celebrate and be happy when my time has come. Please don't mourn for me. Just pray that I'm in a better place somewhere, wherever that will be...:)
P.S: There's a new movie called "COCO". A good animation movie to watch!
