Life and Death

Life...Life is amazing in so many ways. You can't count the times we've all been happy, sad, disappointed, excited and all the other emotions. Life can be extremely difficult at times but that's just how it works. I thought of this topic for tonight cause my uncle's life has been taken away. He passed away because of cancer. He was getting treatment, but it spread to his brain. Which caused an unfortunate death. I was inspired by him. Because even though he has this huge problem. He always has a smile on his face. I can't imagine someone smiling while knowing that in due time his life will be taken away from him. It amazes me so much. I don't know if I can handle that. Can you? Life...Life has so many obstacles, challenges, hardships but in the end it's all worth it. Example, your studying super hard for a huge test in the morning. What your studying is insanely hard then when you take the test it's as easy as blinking. Everything gets paid off. It might be later or tomorrow or maybe next week who knows. It's undetermined. The painful part of life is knowing that at some point it will all end. Knowing that all the great things will end. All the times you can spend with your friends and family. But, the things that you can look back at are the amazing things you have done while you were still alive. That is what my uncle taught me. It's the painful truth. But I kind of understood it. I didn't know what to feel now. My birthday is in a few days and one of my favorite uncle passed away last night. My aunt said that before all that happened he was still cracking jokes and making people laugh. Hehe. It made me feel happy. I guess somethings are meant to be. I'm inspired by him because what lies ahead of him is uncertain but he gets through it with a smile. I wish my Tito Jun a wonderful life. I know that he is happy where he is now. I pray for the family and friends having a rough time going through this. I pray for his wife and his seven-year old son. I am very thankful that the Lord gave him to us. I thank the Lord for the wonderful days he has spent here on Earth with all of us.
