Ika 26 ng Hunyo 2009: Mortality


Last night, I went to the wake of my neighbor. He was 45. His wife looked numb. It was so unexpected. I didn't plan on staying long. I don't like attending funerals. The wife would tell me how her husband died. I sat and listened. In this situation, there is nothing good to say. Silence would be the best language. As people come and go, I was trying to find the perfect opportunity to leave. I found it when a relative of her husband engaged her in a conversation.

This morning, I was shocked to learn about Michael Jackson's death when I turned on my pc. I didn't have an inkling he was ill. According to reports he was in full cardiac arrest. The world has one less great talent. I am awed by his great talent and love some of his songs......Rock with You, She's Out of my Life, Human Nature, I Just Can't Stop Loving You, The Girl is Mine to name a few.

Instinctively, I searched for news about Farrah Fawcett. She too had gone to her final destination. The poster girl of my time....... Who would think she'd die so soon. The lady with the radiant smile was always so full of life. I was one of the girls who mimicked Farrah's famous locks, very popular among high school girls way back then.

My friends in college expressed their sadness about the news of the deaths of these two celebrities in our e-group. These were the stars we grew up with. One commented that it serves as a grim reminder of our own mortality. Sooner or later, we would all go.......
