To some it may be perished,
As we think it may be gone,
A life may have been born.
Today, I have experienced 2 extreme incidents. While attending at people mourning for death, I was celebrating for new births. How many of us do really know about life and death? This lady had fought almost 1 and half hours before passing away after all the children and close relatives got beside her on time. Her condition was so bad that I thought she might not have survived for 30 mins but surprisingly she did for 1 and half hours after one by one the family members turned up. And then, finally, she was gone. It was a commotion until at one moment when everyone had to accept the fact that she was gone. I don't know her nor her family but I think she had accomplished what she wanted, that is to have her family beside her at her last breath.

On the other end, I have seen the most births today. It's such a joy to welcome new lives on earth. Babies are so innocent and giving birth is a great event! You see people smiling being a parent and sigh a relief after gone through an ordeal of giving birth.
I walked through a small park at 7am this morning and smelt the cool breeze as it was raining last night. I was having a mixed emotions after a tough night thinking about life. I saw this huge flower stood gracefully above my head. So, I took the picture and then put on a little smile on my face. Life afterall is not as bad. Then, I walked away embracing a whole new day of work.
