While we are amazed of how wonderful life can be with all the blessings coming from God and his everlasting care and unconditional love, life still, is unpredictable.
Typically, there are events in life that are beyond our capacity to control and can never be known to us until such incident happened and witnessed by our very eyes.
I’m talking about this because I received a sad news yesterday about the sudden passing of the husband of my cousin.
My cousins’s family lives in Quezon, Bukidnon, Philippines, just a few minutes ride from our hometown.
Although I know very well about life being so unpredictable and about how mysterious it is but still I was shocked upon knowing that he died already.
Just about one month ago, we had a singing session during our town fiesta in Kibawe, Bukidnon. I didn’t see or notice any traces of infirmity in him.
He seemed to be happy and healthy.
But he’s gone because of kidney failure. I can’t imagine how sad my cousin would be and so with their 2 sons who happened to be away during the incident.
One of their son just left the country for a work in Denmark 3 months ago and the other one is currently in Manila. Now they won’t see their father alive anymore.
It pains me because I know how hard life would be when the head of the family is gone. I experienced the hardship that when my father left us. Even if we can actually survive financially but his absence really made a great impact in our lives.
But that’s how life is. When there’s a start or beginning there has to be an end. Seems every living things follow the same process.
During this very sad moment in our lives, questions usually will come out from those affected members of the family’s mind, and in general that would be, why him? Or why now?
Dejectedly, those questions will remain unanswered. No one will ever comprehend the mystery of life that he being human could ever justify or explain why these things happened.
But I still believe that while we had those unreciprocated questions in mind, God has His own reasons why He allowed things to happen. And that reason most of the times we humans cannot also fathom.
Anyhow, at this point of time, my prayers is with his soul and at the same time to the bereaved family.
I pray that God will welcome him in heaven and for his family whom he just left to be brave enough to face this greatest challenge in their lives and that they could move on and still live a normal life without him.
