death seems to be everywhere these days. an inevitible fate we all must suffer but why so prevalent now, at this point in our lives, in my life? another innocent young life lost. but not someone i know personally.


you all must have heard, the triathlete. Thaddeus Cheong. RJ kid, smart, intelligent, successful, a fellow catholic brother in christ one of those perfect angels. Gone. Just like that. life's short no?


I mean going out doing the thing you love sure sounds poetic, but this isn't a book. it's real, perhaps too real for his family and loved ones. they're feeling the sting of lost love, i know the feeling. its come far too often in my young life. but i pray for them and his soul that God's love will flood their hearts once again and let him find peace and them acceptance. its tough, but it has to happen.


i've just combed through a couple of blogs. heart wrenching accounts of visiting the wake and other such events. the pain from my past surges once again through my being and i can't imagine what they must have felt when the experienced it for the first time.


i can only stop and wonder what would it be like if i was suddenly taken without warning.


would you still love me tomorrow


i would still love you


life is short. live it the way you should.


spread the lovin'
