Jinane Jouni :Goodbye but Welcome

Goodbye but Welcome Have you ever felt that this is the end of the world, and you're not going to be glad anymore due to an abruptly change in life? Actually I felt that, but Tupac Shakur said once, “for every dark night there is a brighter day." My grandfather passed away on New Year eve, the evening we supposed to be celebrating. He was in hospital for few days before, but that night his health was excellent as the doctor said. However, his sudden death shocked all of us. We weren't expecting that. I didn't accept that incident at the beginning. It didn't seem true for me. It was like a joke. I believed that it was a dream. And I’ll wake in few moments to find everything OK. Unfortunately, it wasn't a nightmare. It was the cruel world. It takes what we love and what we want. We can't live content forever. Something should happen to stop the routine. I felt depressed and melancholic. I didn’t want to talk with anybody else. I putted myself in my room and I cried an ocean of tears. I cried my eyes out. I was down in the dumps. I was getting back all memories we had together, since I was born. I remembered all happy moments we shared together, all places we visit, and all gifts he bought to me. He was shrewd and wise. He thought me how to face life. He was the most influential person in my life. His lap was the only secure place when my parents made me mad. I used to watch some movies with him, sitting on big chair. We played in ball on the backyard, with my other cousins. My grandpa was warm and loving. As such I wasn’t able to overcome his death. It was like the end for me. Everything looks is black. One month later, everything came back to its balance. The world should continue. My grandpa will not be content if I am sad, so I shall smile. My grandpa will be proud of me if I’ll successes. He intends me to know he is in a safe place, and I pray for him. All the memories, I should treasure and keep them close to my heart. When our Lord calls us, we have to go. We shouldn’t stop when something happens, we have to move on. Life is just a game, an exam to check our patience and strength. Life isn’t easy as my grandpa taught me. But whatever happened, things will go better. Whatever the night gets along, the sun will rise again in the morning to send its sunbeam and warms the Earth.
