Win Win

Whenever someone close passes away, a piece of you goes with it. I use "it" here because we were born as a "it", unknowingly. And when we die, we have no idea what's gonna be.
A very close elderly passed away last night. Gone with him are part of the memories of me as a child. He lived in HK most of the time, working 3 jobs to support his family. His wife, my grand-aunt, died of breast cancer the forth year after she immigrated to HK, leaving 2 children behind.
I can still remember the day when I heard about her death, my whole family just crushed. I couldn't stop crying even after two days when I was at school. It was the first time that I lost someone dear. And the pain just wouldn't go away easily.
I am aware that life and death are the most natural thing in the world, I tried my best to cob with it. I can easily say that it's a relief for them, because they were suffering from physical pain. But deep down my heart, it's still hard to accept the cruel fact that they no longer exist. They've become a piece of mind, a memory that's not touchable.
But this is what life is supposed to be. The circle goes round and round, and one day, that'd be me. I hope when that day comes, I will be remembered as a happy loving human being.
