A 17-year-old triathlete Thaddeus Cheong, The Raffles Junior College teenager had collapsed and died on Sunday, Jun 25, 2007 after crossing the finishing line in a SEA Games selection race. A promising youth with strong body and mind is vanished just like that. No one has expected that tragedy, but this is just how unpredictable life can be. My heart goes to Thaddeus’s family, especially his mother. May God comfort them, give them hope, for one day, they shall meet again in a better place.
The same can happen to you and me, my dear friend, a life is unpredictable. Let us learn to treasure each day and with every one. When you are down, tell yourself, if you can, do make a positive change to make your life easier, and do not be cranky over something we cannot change; If you are angry with someone, take time to make it up before it is too late; If you wish to do something that you always want to do, don’t wait, make it happen and do it now. For we don’t know what will happen tomorrow, if God’s willing we shall doing this or doing that. But let us start with each day.
Especially for mothers, do treasure the days when you are with your children. The children are the presents from God, don’t let children quarrelling, or dirty footprints upset your days. For many things we care about now are has little eternal value, Let us treat each day as through it will be the last day for us, to care, to love, and to enjoy. May God bless Thaddeus’s soul and let him rest in peace in heaven.
