It's Now Or Never

One of the last conversations i remember having with my grandmother before she expired four years back on April 24 was when she told me 'Rochelle, you have a very big heart'.
She said this after i announced my decision to buy a car. She was thrilled at my generosity and at the idea of travelling in the family car. Unfortunately, she got admitted in hospital the day i bought my car on April 18 and expired a week later. She never got a chance to travel in my car and this fact hit me hard few a couple of hours before her funeral. We were standing in the building compound, i remember standing next to Preeti and seeing my nana's body being brought down and laid in the coffin which ironically was placed just next to my car. And that's when i realised that instead of being in the car i wanted to see her in, she was in the coffin i never wanted to see her in.

If only i would not have delayed, for the last couple of months, over the decision to buy a car, she might have gotten a chance to travel in it.

Death does not check with our itenary, agenda or plans before sneaking into our lives. It just comes. So dont delay on making your family, friends and loved ones feel special, thanked or appreciated. Maybe its just a phone call to say hi or a trip you are planning to send them on or a gift you have always wanted to buy them or just a 'Thank You' you've been waiting to say.

It's Now Or Never!!!
