I almost lost a very dear friend to an accident. Seeing the pictures of the wreckage uploaded by him gives me goose bumps. He cheated death with only scratches here and there but nothing serious.His injury totally belies the serious degree of wreckage suffered by his not-so-fortunate car. Inches here or there, a different road and cars, or situation, he might be blown to pieces.
It makes me realize that this precious life can end as abruptly, just like that. You will never see it coming. People said when you hit one point that you thought you will die, all your life and faces of people that you love flashes in front of your eyes. All the things that you wish you have done all the things that you wished you had said. And when you survive, it’s like; you have a second chance at life.
I’m not ready to say goodbye to him. Not yet. Not ever. It’s just too comfortable to have him around. He’s my sanity charm, a helpful hand, a book to refer to, a laugh to share, a smile that is so contagious, ears that listens, a voice that soothe, a search-click on yahoo, a friend to talk nonsense to and reminisces the good old days. He will always be someone so dear and so close to my heart.
So, dear bro, take extra care on yourself because you might not be so damn lucky next time. You should remember that I will always care about you. You were lucky to survive unscathed and I am lucky to have the chance to tell you things that I should have told you ages ago.
