Death
I know it is a burn blogging about such a horrible thing but I must. My plans for today was to goto bible study and go to K- town to meet up with my friend Laura Yoon. Laura is my dong seng from back in the day and she came from back for 3 days from Korea... So as I was leaving and checked my message and it was Laura. She left a very sad message. One of her friends died tonight and she was in great pain. I called her and she was crying and said "I am sorry.... I will meet up with you next time I am here. I felt her pain.... I remember when my best girlfriend from college died. Julia Shin was her name. We were the same major and we both had the same goals and dream in life... We promised that we were going tyo make a movie together. But one day she passed away in her sleep. I came back from a wedding and I felt weird. Julia always left a message on Sundays but not that day. Later I got a message from my friend and Julia was gone. She had seizures in her sleep. In fact I remember her crying and telling me how scared she was. I remember the agony and the pain that I felt when Julia left. I remember how empty everything felt. Right now Laura must be having such a hard time. One of the great thing s about Christianity's teaching is that "to die is to gain". There is the justifcation. When I die, I know where I am going. That is a good feeling. I just pray that Laura understands that also.... I Hope that Laura will one day understand the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Christ, dying is all good. Though it hurts still when I think about Julia, it's cool. I know I will see her again one day.
