A freak accident. Tragic. A young man with his two colleagues are hard at work on what seemed like an ordinary day at the back of a trailer. The trailer slips down a ramp into a pond bringing along the three men. Two of them escape while one pays with his life- the young man in his twenties from JB. Just another life lost, suddenly and unexpectedly. It's unnatural for one so young to die this way. Such is life- full of surprises. Some nasty, some pleasant but mostly unexpected.
One important thing to do in life is to appreciate those around us, especially our loved ones- spouse, parent, child, friend, working colleague for we do not know what life has in store. Each morning as you go your separate ways- take time to smile, hug or kiss your loved one for you know not when will it be that last goodbye. Life can be cruel at times. Treasure the voice you may never listen to again. Take a good look at the person you love- husband, wife, children.
Do not take for granted the abilities and capabilities that you have- that too may be robbed from you. Don't only walk, run. Don't only talk, sing a tune. Live life to the fullest for this may be your last day walking, talking, laughing, living.
Do good, be kind, be charitable, be compassionate and, above all, love.
