Life. Death. Sorrow. Joy.

The past few days I went to my friend's granddad's wake. On the day of cremation, my friend's mom cried bitterly. At that moment, I felt my heartache. I was quite close to my friend's mother, so even though I did not know my friend's granddad, I felt sorry for his loss. It's weird right? How people are interlinked? How people can feel sad for someone they have never met? After the cremation, my friend's mom, wept badly. But a long while later, when me&my friend were playing with my friend's baby cousin, my friend's mom walked over&played with the baby, a smile spread across her face. I would have never thought that a moment ago,she had been crying bitterly. As my friend's granddad's life on earth is over, my friend's baby cousin's life has just began. As there is sorrow in the lost of one, there is joy in the presence of another. As there is despair, there is hope. This is life.
