Life's unpredictable. Tribute to my cousin brother



Today it started of rainy day as it was raining since the wee hours. Everything was fine and seemed normal till i got a call from my cousin notifying me that my cousin bro which is closely related to me had suffered from a heart attack and is having difficulties in breathing. The first thing that went through my mind was recalling the incident where this happened to my grandfather 4years ago when he too passed away in his bed. After that call, i was hoping praying hard that he'll be fine and i thought he was going to be fine as he is really big size about 1-2 feet taller than me. So i was pretty confident that he will be fine.. Then my cousin called again 40minutes later informing me that, he had passed away. Hearing that, I was just speechless. There was nothing else i could think of saying. I just held on to the phone and said nothing. I was in shocked, the person that i had laughed with, talk with all over the years had just gone juse like that. I was close to him as my family had many girls so we boys usually will stick to a group and start joking among ourselves. Yeah. Guess everything's not going to be the same anymore this upcoming CNY. And after that my uncle took me to my aunt house to visit them. As i walked up the stairs, I had this sorrow feeling and when i reached his room there he was, lying on the ground covered with a blanket. He was the one that always brought laughter to me and now i stood infront of him helplessly. Nothing can describe how i felt when i saw him. My aunt was a very strong women. Throughout the entire day, never did she shed a tear and it must have been hard as I could see from the look of her face that deep down inside, losing a son meant alot to her. I'm just astonished to see her keeping calm when friends and family came over to offer their condolences. And at times tears could be seen at her eyes, but she wiped it off and attended to her relatives and friends. Yeah many unexpected things happen in life. Now all i can do is just to think of those happy moments when i have with him. I know he's in better hands now with God and my Grandpa =).. May your soul rest in peace and you'll always be remembered by us all. Take care my cousin bro.
