that very thin line

between life and death. it hit me hard this time, as i saw my ah kong in hospital earlier. I had just driven him to my cousin's wedding exactly a week ago and he was scolding my sister and i for being naughty and turning up late for the wedding dinner.

it is easy to think that man lives forever, but hard to digest the truth that there is no such thing. and if there's one thing that offers comfort, is that a better future awaits all christians who pass on from this life to the next.

and now, i say a prayer for my ah kong, that the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard his soul and mind.

have mercy on us all... from dust to dust.... mere fools we all are.
