One of our therapy assistants passed away today, it came as a shock. I missed the party at his house just a few weeks ago because I was working, didnt know that would be my last chance of ever seeing him again.
He has gone through so much since his back infection, I guess we thought the worse was over. I see a lot of deaths at work, but very seldom does it affect me in a personal manner. I am very fortunate in that my family is still very much complete, even my extended ones. so allow me to grieve for a little while..
I will miss him and his smile of encouragement to take things step by step and get through the day.
I will miss him supporting me when others bully me and helping me to stand up for what is right.
I will miss him talking and encouraging the patients in the various exercises they are doing.
I will miss his help in helping me whenever I need some.
I will miss him reminding me to take care of myself as well.
I will miss his presence, simply, knowing that he is around.
I have missed him at work, but now I will miss him forever.
He was a very kind soul, wanting to continue to contribute to society even when he was able to retired. Hosting us at his house just to bless us. Life is truly fragile, I hope we can all learn to be like him - to enjoy what we do, to give our best in all that we do, knowing that it is worthwhile. To treasure the time we have, not just to rest and to indulge in holidays, but to spend time with those who matter and to contribute in ways we can. I hope we will live life knowing the hope of Christ, even in the here and now life. I hope, I will learn to embrace life and all that God has encompassed in it here in this lifetime.
