Something amiss

Figure 1: Sublime high tides.

It wasn't a happy day nor was it too sad a day. But today feels like something is missing and you know it when someone who was there but wasn't there in just a flash. Everyone will one day return to earth but for sure no one knows when.

Yesterday, I met him, he was smiling and his shift was just over, he was an aged man, filled with experience and was never reluctant to share it with those who asked. He was a jolly retiree still working at our plant and whenever it was his shift I would come-by and have a chat with him.

Today, I saw him, all wrapped up in white as the final prayers completed and burial proceeded. He was pale yet they said he was tough till the end. His heart failed him the second time and this time it isn't good. The first time doesn't changed his lifestyle and it happened not so long ago.

I felt that in life, you wouldn't know when it is your last breath, but that is no reason to do your very best in life, to understand people, and to bring hope and happiness. Most importantly is to smile and make others happy. Live a life full of hope, faith and love.
