When I moved out of my aunt’s house to my own place, it felt great. My aunt and I had disagreements but deep down we loved each other like crazy. In the first few years, I would go see my aunt often. However, studying in college and the busyness of life hindered me from my visits.
Later, I found out about her having a near death experience and I truly thought of making an effort to see her. For some reason or another I always got trapped into things and postponed seeing her to another weekend.
That same month I received a phone call from one of my church members that my aunt had passed away. I couldn’t believe my ears about what I was hearing. Shocked and distressed I suddenly lost all my feelings (she was only in her thirties and died from internal bleeding). I loved my aunt as my second mother and she was the greatest loss in my life.
At last, I realize the unexpected can happen without a warning and there is no rewind button in life.
