Was gonna rush out of my house this morning when I caught a glimpse of the front page of ST.
Saw this happy young couple and something made me stop and read.
The headline didn't even catch my eye...it was the pic. Something very poignant about it.
Read the article and my heart sank..
Avid sky-diver falls to his death in Australia when both his main parachute and reserve parachute fail to operate.
They both jumped out together from the plane, hand-in-hand...but landed differently.
It's heartbreaking. Really heartbreaking.
Can't imagine what she must have felt then when she saw his body; what she must be feeling now when he's gone; what she must be feeling to have lost him just like that; what she must have felt to have not even had the chance to say good bye.
They were staying together for at least 2 years already...must have been planning for the future.
And now, he's left her. Just like that.
The fragility of life.
You never know when it'll hit you.
Was thinking about it still when I was on the train to work. Whilst watching rivulets of rain snaking down the windows of the train. Whilst listening to Tao Zhe on my neeon.
My heart goes out to her. Really.
Hope she's got the support of her friends and loved ones.
And I suppose it's true. How you should let your loved ones know you care.
Cos you never know when they might leave you.
