Well..
At first, I had thought of blogging about the awesome night that was the Slash Concert

However, even that great event was marred by something awful
Something terrible

And now
Here I am...
Having just attended a funeral service...
Its unlike any other funeral service..
This funeral service was in honor of a boy a year younger than I..


I have always related death and funeral services with old people
It suddenly dawned upon me
Smack right in the middle of my face much like a face palm...
That Death.. could happen to anyone..
Me, You, Them, Him, Her..
Death does not discriminate..

Suddenly I felt like Life was as thin as paper
As fragile as glass
It could be blown away, or shattered just like that...

As I stood there talking away with my friends
I just couldn't help thinking at the back of my mind
Why would someone so healthy just die like that?
I can only rationalize that God probably loved him more
He wanted him more than anybody else to have him by His side...
That...
Was the only reassuring comfort that I could find

Although I did not know him
I've seen him around
I know his brother
He is just like the rest of us
No more different than You and I
However, I'm confident that he is in a better place now
Together with God The Father Almighty

R.I.P
To the friend I never got to know
And to my friend.. Stay strong
Your brother is in God's loving arms now

Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
Tonight we all die young!"
