If Tomorrow Never Comes

Usual Monday mornings' bustle when I received a text message on my mobile phone. My heart sank, I stared into emptiness, pondering, after reading the message. An associate had committed suicide by jumping into the sea from the Penang Bridge just before dawn. He was 42, married with 2 kids and runs his own business helped by his wife. A day went by, then two. Received another text message in the afternoon saying body had been found floating off the sea of Batu Maung. 

Now this turn of event really set me thinking. People we know, those that we love, are we doing enough bonding? What if..........?

If you're angry with someone, and no one's there to change the situation.....you have to change it! Maybe that person still wants to be your friend. And if you don't do it today, tomorrow could be too late!

If you're in love with someone, but that person doesn't know.....you have to tell him/her! Maybe that person is also in love with you. And if you don't say it today, tomorrow could be too late!

If you still love a person that you think has forgotten you.....you have to tell him/her! Maybe that person hasn't forgotten you at all. And if you don't ask him/her today, tomorrow could be too late!

If you need a hug of a friend.....ask him/her for it! Maybe they need it more than you do. And if you don't ask for it today, tomorrow could be too late!

If you really have friends who you appreciate.....tell them! Maybe they appreciate you as well. And if you don't, and they leave or go far away today, tomorrow could be too late!

If you love your parents and never had the chance to show them.....do it! Maybe you still have them there to show them how you feel. And if you don't, and they leave today, tomorrow could be too late!

So do and say whatever is needed, to all that you know, care and love, today, come rain or shine! What if, for you.....

tomorrow never comes? CIAO!
