Unexpected Departure

Had it ever crossed your mind that one day, you'll die in the most unexpected...and probably unwanted time and manner?

It was a bit gloomy day today...a fellow in the work, a worker in the manufacturing line sufferred a massive heart attack. It occurs just right after lunchtime and the ERT were trying to revive him, but to no avail, it was unsuccessful. The man was rushed to the hospital and we heard nothing except for the news that he left this world at the middle of the day...

For almost 3 days now, I've been sufferring from minor and intermittent palpitations...I can't sleep well since Friday, and last night, it feels like I will have a heart attack too...when no pain is in my heart but surrounding it...there's a lingering tingling sensation that makes me hard to breathe. And so I pray...and prayed to God to calm my body and let it claim the power of His hands' healing. And God never failed me...slowly I fell asleep to give me rest...

And then a thought crossed my mind...what if I suddenly died in my sleep...what will my loved ones and friends do? I had never told all those people whose dear to me that I loved them so much. When it was supposed to be a goodnight sleep turned to an unexpected departure...it'll be a waste because there's no point of return to redo what I supposed to have done...

Its a sad sad situation indeed...and I wish it'll never happen at this point...so I asked God "Please, if you'll take me, don't do it now..." I had never had the chance yet to fully correct my mistakes...

The only constant thing in this world is TIME. Everything happens for a reason, and unexpectedly. If I would die, I want a natural death the fastest way possible. I don't want to endure all the pain that death will cause. - Beta Alanine
