If I die young.
I was checking my email and then I found this... Had a friend make me a eulogy.
Yeap, I made some of my friends write a eulogy for me. I'm not dying, I was just inspired by Morrie (Tuesdays with Morrie), who listened to his eulogy before he died.
But then again, I'm not dying. ;p
Upon reading this, I thought to myself, "How I wish the only man that I love can say things like these to me.."
BUTT, oh well.. here goes..
I was not privileged enough to know Tricia or TY as her friends call her, for a long time. In fact we just recently met. We started off on the wrong foot because of my stupidity but I have no regrets, if I weren’t stupid during that time then I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet a very wonderful person.
I noticed her the first time she set on foot on our office; she is the type that looks intimidating, a person who would not give a second of her time to an ordinary guy like me. But I was wrong. Once you get to know her, you will realize that she is not shallow and there is a really wonderful person behind the intimidating look.
If there is anything that I regret, it is the fact that I didn’t try fast enough to get to know her. She was a very wonderful person, often misunderstood because most people judge her because of what she wear, I pity those people, if only they dropped their high and mighty act, they might have seen what I see in her.
She came into my life when I was at my lowest, everything was a mess, I didn’t smile that often mainly because there was nothing or no one that can make me smile. Then I met her, my life suddenly had a 180 degree turn, things that were plain before started to appear colorful. Boring day to day stuff became something to look forward to. I can say that she saved my life, just when I was about to give up and start to just not care about anything or anyone, she came and gave me my second wind, a new purpose in life, a reason to look forward to every new day. She made me smile.
I learned much from her. Back then I used to think that the amount of money we spend would be proportionate to the amount of satisfaction or happiness that we would get out from it. I was proven wrong, so wrong. The few times we went out to get some drinks didn’t cost much but the way it made me feel was really extraordinary. She also taught me value the things that we have, even the tiniest things that most of us tend to not notice because others are not lucky enough to have or try those things out. She taught me lots of things, but the one thing she taught me that really stuck on me was to learn to be happy. Be appreciative of the things that we often ignore. We might miss out on lots of happy moments because we focus on the big events and ignore the little ones. I am eternally grateful that I picked this up from her.
I wish I could have known her more, be there for her, be the friend she could count on, be the guy she meets that would not treat her badly. I wish to make her see how special she is, and that there is so much more that she can offer aside from what other men tend to want from her. I wish, so freaking hard, that I could have given her all the love that she needed until the end of her days.
Her death is just so hard to bear; there are lots of us in this room who love her deeply, as friends or family. We will truly miss her. This I am sure of. But we must not dwell on the sorrow that we are currently feeling now. I know that she would not be happy if she saw us being sad because of her. Until the day we meet again, hold on to that smile for me.
