You may have heard about the missing airplane MH 370.
Last night, my housemate told me that her friend's husband was on the missing plane..
and this friend just got married last month (my housemate attended their wedding).
My housemate was so shocked. Among so many people in the plane, to know that someone you know, someone you have met is in the missing plane... Sigh..
I called my mom this morning.
And she told me that our neighbor passed away. This lady had a 18-year-old son who used to go to catechism class in my neighborhood. This lady was the one who has been cutting my hair when I went back to Indo on holidays during my university days.
She got a stroke..
I really hope the passengers of the missing plane are safe.
When we talk about accidents, and illness, these are reminders about how limited humans are.
When we talk about death, we usually think of perhaps death when we are 70 or 80 years old,
yet it's close to us.
So close, and we never know when the time comes.
