Death
Death.
A topic that has always interested me. It pulls me in yet scares me away. I find myself wanting to know more but then I also find myself not wanting to go on the little investigation, because it just breaks and pierces my heart.
Most of us, atleast I did, have gone through a death experience, where a family or a friend passes away and we spend a week before even recovering of the shock and moving on with our life that we think is incessant. But truth is, anyone of us can be gone any day, any minute, any second.
A couple of days ago, a new friend of mine in my new school told me about a girl that had passed away; a graduate of my current school. The story is quite heartbreaking and ironic. I researched her death and her life over the past 2 days, and let me tell you the story..
Finally, she's 18 and a newly graduate and she got her driver's licence. What more could a perfectly rounded student like her want more? Life was great, and she never thought - not in a billion years- that she would lose the future she planned before even living it. She was driving to school to get her report (or so i've been told)
on the 4th of September 2006.
And bam, a crash and her whole life passed before her eyes. The innocent girl was instantly killed.
Born on the 4th of the 4th month, and died on a 4th- the young woman's story broke my heart into a million little pieces.
I kept wondering.. wow, she got through the hardest part of life, she actually succeeded and she had an entire life ahead of her, and then she dies?
How unfair life is.
How abrupt can a person's life end.
How unbelievably shocking,
And then thats when I realised, any of us could be gone at any minute; while going to school or while we sleep peacefully or even on our big days.
I never knew her. Never met her, but now I know about her. And that stranger's story made me tear up- imagine how her closed ones would feel?
But seeing all the love she received after she was gone, and all her friends in tears over their loss, made me wonder, all this because she was a good person, from inside and from out.
And too often I now think to myself, what if I would go now? Will people remember me after I was gone? Will I be remembered as the person that everyone loved? And that has honestly changed me in many ways.
Maybe there really is a lesson to every accident
Tragedy will never cease and we need tough hearts to go on living.
We all will leave one day, sooner or later, and we need to leave a positive mark on earth before we depart.
Death takes alot of people away from us, but it never takes away the feelings they gave us or the memories we lived with them.
And everyday, as I pass her memorial at school, a moment of silence is most necessary.
Rest In Peace Samar Al Ansari.
Death is nothing but temporary. We shall all meet soon.
