яємιиιscєиcє -a ρяaчєя-


I was sitting on a bench by the sea-side, and I saw a launch pass by. As it traveled further, it left a trail behind. And a few seconds later, the trail was gone. The waves washed it all away. And it made me wonder about all the people who went away from my life. It made me wonder of how quickly their spaces got filled up by someone else just as special. It’s amazing how some people are so hard to forget while some people can be so easy to forgotten. Some people cannot be replaced while others can gladly be replaced. While all these thoughts roamed around in my mind, all I could think about this one special person, who could never ever be replaced.

When I lost him, all I could do was look back over our time and regret every single moment when I let him down. I regretted drifting away from him so much. I regretted not being there for him when he needed me most.

I pray everyday, to give him peace and happiness. I pray to god, to forgive him for each and every sin he did. I wished for him to be blessed with paradise.

I want him to know, that I love him so much, even though I couldn’t tell him that. I want him to know that I’m sorry that I got so distant with him as I grew.

I loved you then and I love you still, and will forever. Forgive me for not being there for you, and forgive me for everything I ever did. I miss you so much, and you are one person who could never be replaced and there could never be a better cousin, well more than a cousin, you were like a brother to me. And no matter what people say, you are THE best!

I miss you Shafy Dhombe, and I’ll keep missing you for the rest of my life. We all miss you. And we are all sorry that we couldn’t show you how much we cared about you. All of us. We love you so much, and we always will.

Go tell your parents, your sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, best friends, lover and other relatives how much you love them. You never know when you’re gonna lose them. No matter how young they are, or no matter how badly they treat you, just tell them, that they are important, and that you love them. I couldn’t tell my most favorite cousin brother how much I loved him and how much I cared, and now I’ve lost him. He was so young, just a 21 year old. I couldn’t even believe my ears when I heard about his death, but when I saw him, I broke into tears. These tears will never go away. I just wish that I told him, how lucky I was to have him.

So just tell them all, before it’s too late….

blinkgurl said...

ur absolutely right, u should always let the people close in ur life know how much u care. We don't know the "bigger plan" and any one of us can be taken at any time for any reason. u need to love and be loved ur whole life through.
Thank u so much for sharing ur story; I'm sure u've touched more lives than u even know. God Bless!

yeah i understand what you are saying
my cousin, as dhombe said, died when he was 11, and it was totally unexpected
he was one of the few people i connected with those days, i was quiet shy and all then
it was just too unexpected, and he was such a good kid..
may god bless him
and may god bless your cousin as well..

And almost all the ppl who were awakened by this post will in a few days time forget everything and will soon go back to their lives and back to the usual way of thinking. thats whats sad about it all. but nevertheless u would have touched them all. im sure ur cousin knows jes how much u loved him even if u may not have said it. hope he rests in peace. afterall, all we can do for our loved ones after theyve left us is pray for them. and it actually brings them closer to heaven every single time. thats the beauty of it all. :)

maybe expressing your love in words sound odd within the family. people just dont say it all that much but they show it by caring & by being there for them. i think it's fair enuf but only if u really show that u care. better if u say it too..

anywayz we all share your grief. may your cousin rest in peace & be blessed with eternal happiness.

shabaa said...

for me i dont have to say that i love my relatives or friends..its just too lame to say it to my relatives..but fun to say it to the frends

..cnt we just not say love and show them how much we care them.

its so easy to say we love someone..may it be a brother or a frend..but i wonder how many of us show it :s

wel i dunno

god bless his soul
