I slowly settle down, and find the mood to write this blog entry. Its been a tough week.
There are moments in our life, that we really ain’t able to control. Those moments that we really leave it to faith of our beliefs.
A few days ago, on a long weekend. I was taking photos as usual, rented a macro lens. Photographing interesting small wonders of life. My sis called, telling me she had just went for a ultra-sound scan, his 3rd child had lost his heartbeat.
I am always close to my sis family. Having to play with her 2 boys most of the time, we developed a strong uncle-nephew bond. Knowing that my sis is gonna have another child is a thrill for me. I couldn’t wait to capture the beautiful moments of this new life.
So it came crashing down. To all of us, is really a painful moment. A small life is lost. The child was unable to develop his brain, the umbilical cord was twisted, causing insufficient oxygen to reach his brain for development. And his heart, eventually fail.
This is the time when we find more helpless. Where things cant be control in the way we humans would want to. Its really the fact, fated. It will take us perhaps a lifetime to heal the wounds. Lesson that we learn to appreciate the preciousness of life. That we don’t take each breath for granted.
Life have to go on. Just that, we learn to live stronger. And in the midst of our busy schedule, we don’t forget the that life didn’t came by easily.
For Caleb. You will be living in all our hearts.
