A Reminder

A Reminder
When I was in 200 level, I had a friend I loved so much. We were Soo close that people thought, we were siblings. He was a very jovial person, almost everyone in school knows him, he would go to any extent to make people happy. We bought food together, ate together, sat together in class and evening during exams. Some weeks to our examination, we had an argument, he did something that pained and instead of me to call his attention to it, I decided to leave him till he realise what he had done. For days we didn't talk, some of our friends tried to find out what was wrong, but I wasn't giving in. I wanted him to apologize in a way that I would be satisfied. And the fact that we stopped talking and he didn't bother to ask what was wrong made me even more upset.

After our exams, we had to go for our Industrial Work Experience, at this point, I had to check on him, it was weeks and I haven't heard from him or seen him. When I called, he didn't pick and when he called back, he explained that he was at the hospital and when I asked what the nature of his sickness was, he said it was diabetes. I was really worried, I prayed for him and I kept checking up on him, but after a while I got busy with work and I couldn't.

Some weeks after, my course mate called me to inform me that John was dead, I was shocked to the core, I couldn't talk for a while. I tried to reason how someone I spoke to some days ago could have died just like that. I cried, I spent days trying to gather myself together.

Today, I was going through my gallery when I saw his picture, the pain was there. I wished I had forgiven him and made more memories. I felt bad for breaking a friendship out of my lack of maturity. It's been two years since he died and his memories are still intact with me.

All I have left of him are memories be it pleasant or unpleasant. For what it's worth, live each day like it's your last with the best of intentions and a good heart. Forgive those who hurt you. Forgive those who apologize for hurting you. Apologize when you hurt others as well. Love and love! Still love again and again, regardless. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed, those of us who saw today hope to see tomorrow but the power of that is in God's hand alone! Please, live a simple and a dedicated life to God.
