A Time To Pause & Reflect

Posted by Mimi on 30 August 2008

“Wherever you are, death will find you, even if you are in towers built up strong and high!”

Today, one of OnlyGirl’s teachers passed away today due to heart failure. One moment, she was in the river with other teachers, OnlyGirl, and some students; less than an hour later, she was gone.  You know what really shook me? She was about my age and had no known history of heart disease.

“Wherever you are, death will find you”. Let us pause for a moment and reflect on these words, for there is none among us who knows when it’s our time to go.

To God we belong and to Him is our return.

    i didn’t know her that well but i went to the funeral anyway. it was interesting, to say the least, because she was of indian origin but has embraced islam for quite some time and also married a muslim. her family — all hindus — were present.

    thanks re: nomination. i was really surprised, especially since the comment came under this particular post! :)
