If tomorrow never comes

Read a friend’s blog who had just put up the lyric of ‘If tomorrow never comes’. I never really liked the song much, since I always thought it was on the cheesy side. But reading it I somehow feel touched. Though to be fair I’ve been on mellow mood the last couple of days and with good biological reason too.

Anyway, the bit that really touched me is

“And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past

Gonna be enough to last??”

I thought it was really sweet that when faced with the idea of passing away he didn’t think about how much he was going to miss her, but he was more worried about whether she’ll survive it. I guess when you love someone so much you’ll put her well being above yours.

I remember when my dad passed away, my mum told me that she’s sorry that I have to go through it. She’s sorry that I had to lose my dad all over again and she hope that I’ll be okay. Looking back, it showed how much she loved me when she said that. When she had just lost her dream of spending her old age with her husband, losing her lifelong companion, she worried about me. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, she felt sorry for me. Frankly speaking i imagine that it was a bigger lost for her than for me considering the fact that they were together almost 24x7 and practically breathing the same air all the time. Yet my mum worried about me. And i'm sure when he was passing away my dad would probably thinking about how his family would survive it, though i didn't think that he'd doubt tat we would survive.

If I have half the capacity of my parents to love, I’d be a lucky person seriously.
