DEATH......

“Death comes at a least expected time. Before it does,

Ask yourself if you’ve done enough…

To leave smiles on the people you’ll leave behind...”

-Stacey Kay Fortuna-

Death. One of the things most people (I guess!) are most afraid of. Ever wonder how it would feel to die? To feel that moment where in life would take your breath away from you? I do. Maybe that’s why I thought of the kind of quote written above. To let people realize death can easily take your life from you. You never know when that happens. Or where. Or how.

Last year or was it two years ago that out of the blue, I made an agreement with God. Three days before I die, a white butterfly would sit on my palm. And hopefully, it’s not yet soon. Maybe, you would be asking why. I would like to prepare myself and bid farewell to people who matter to me. I want to make sure that before I leave, everything is fine and everybody’s smiling, as much as possible. I want to leave my existence on earth seeing that the people who I most care for are in good condition. I want to cheer them up, even for those last three days left of my stay.

Sometimes, I ask friends what kind of death they would like to experience. Most of them answered the unpainful type of death, either through sleep or any other way that immediately takes away life. I say the other way around. I want to feel what it takes to die through an illness but I don’t want to experience death through a crime. I want to be the best person I can be since I have known that soon enough, God will take me back. I just want to feel alive at that time, when it comes.

I know what I have been saying is all weird, but I guess I had moments where in I thought of what death looks like and how could it take away someone’s life so easily. Ever thought about that? Maybe someday you should. I don’t think it requires much of your attention but I guess you can try to decipher the mysterious face hidden beneath the shadow of death.

I watch a TV series called “Supernaturals” every Saturday. One of the episodes showed how one’s life is taken. It showed of a man wearing a coat and tie. He seems to simply take away life by holding the person and just take the life out of the person. It was scary and sometimes it made me think if it could be a fact. Otherwise, the show bases their stories from legends around the United States.

So, ever think right now what might be death? Or how you might possibly die? What if before you even knew it, death comes running after you? Or how about, what if you or a friend of you dreams of you dying? I have, I did. But I won’t talk about that now. Maybe next time, or maybe never.
