When your first told, you think it is a bad dream, a prank even and you wait for the person to jump out of the cupboard and say jokes, you know exactly what scrolling words you are going to say, but it never happens. Days past and it starts to feel real, a new sense of normal without that person, it could be a family member, a old school friend, a neighbour. 24 hours before that niece sat in your lap and laughed, smiled, even cried, and now gone. 10 minutes before, you smiled as you edited your latest photos with your best friend as the main focus, and thought she has to be home soon, she would love these, but she wouldn't see them. 5 minutes before he asked to ride his bike, and you told him to start it himself, he got it started, but you cannot hear it now. You'll never here their laugh again, never feel the warmth, never see their tears. Treasure the moments you have, life does not last forever.
