In a blink of an eye..

..death happens.

One year ago, i didn't know him.

Beginning of this year, i noticed him around Sunday School. I see him around church and i remember him for being the supertall guy. I didn't even know his name.

Last week. We all went for a retreat. His wife was in my dorm. I remember her running around saying "Boys walking outside! Beware Girls". We stayed up till 3am talking and telling jokes to each other while eating our Hokkien Mee. His wife had to come down to make maggi for him because he was hungry. The guys called him BigJon and we were having fun asking him our riddles.
I didn't even say Bye.

Yesterday. He passed away.

It really was sudden. I was still reeling in shock when i went to work. I can't believe that he's gone. I just saw him last week. Last week. I wished i had taken the time to know him more. I wish things had taken a different turn. I wish.


But alas, i believe that the Lord has his plans.
Right now, he's with God.

May his soul rest in peace.
